conditioning and mechanical equipment and the cost of materials, supplies, tools
and equipment used in connection therewith; interior and exterior landscaping
and cost of other services (including but not limited to electricity, steam,
gas, water and other utilities) for the operation and maintenance of the
Building and all such other expenses and costs reasonably necessary or desirable
to be incurred for the purpose of operating and maintaining the Building in good
and workmanlike condition as a first class office building. Notwithstanding the
foregoing sentence, as used in the definition of Operating Expenses, taxes shall
not include any federal, state or municipal income, profit, franchise,
privilege, capital, levy, excise, inheritance, estate, succession, gift or
transfer tax or any real property deed, conveyance or transfer taxes. Any taxes
or assessment which may be paid over more than a one-year period shall be
apportioned evenly over the maximum period of time permitted by law and only the
portion thereof attributable to a given year shall be included in taxes for that
year. "Operating Expense" shall not include: Landlord's cost of items sold to
other tenants; Landlord's income taxes or any other taxes imposed upon or
measured by Landlord's income or profit; personal property taxes of other
tenants; leasing commissions and fees to real estate agents; and franchise,
estate, inheritance, succession and real estate transfer taxes.

          "Rentable Area" shall be defined as all space within Tenant's demising
walls plus the Tenant's proportionate share of all common areas. The Rentable
Area of the Premises shall be determined by Landlord in Landlord's sole
discretion and Tenant agrees to pay its pro rata share as stated above in this
Subparagraph 3(b) notwithstanding any discrepancy in the calculation of Rentable
Area. "Common Areas" are those areas of the building that Tenant shares in
common with other tenants (such as elevator lobby, public corridors, toilets,
service closets and service elevator lobby). Excluded from "Rentable Area" in
the Building shall be all elevator pipe and mechanical shaft space and all
stairwells. Changes in Rentable Area for purposes of this Subparagraph 3(b)
shall be effective on the day of the change.

          Within sixty (60) days after the expiration of each calendar year or
as soon thereafter as possible, Landlord or Landlord's agent shall submit to
Tenant a statement setting forth the Operating Expenses, which statement shall
also include in sufficient detail the calculation of the Operating Expenses and
Tenant's share of same. Within 30 days after delivery of such statement, Tenant
shall pay to Landlord a sum equal to the amount of the resulting adjustment for
such calendar year, regardless of whether Tenant shall dispute any of the items
included by Landlord. If Tenant shall not dispute any item or items of any such
statement within sixty (60) days after such statement has been rendered, Tenant
shall be deemed to have approved such statement. If Tenant shall dispute any
item or items included by Landlord in determining Operating Expenses and such
dispute is not amicably settled between Landlord and Tenant within sixty (60)
days after the statement therefor has been rendered, either party may, during
the fifteen (15) days next following the expiration of such sixty (60) days,
refer such disputed item or items to a reputable firm of independent certified
public accountants selected by mutual agreement of Landlord or Landlord's agent
and Tenant for decision, which decision shall be conclusive and binding upon
Landlord and Tenant. Landlord shall credit the amount, if any, of Tenant's prior
payment found to be excessive against Tenant's next subsequent monthly rental
payment or payments. The expenses involved in such determination shall be borne
by the party against whom a decision is rendered by such accountants, provided
that, if more than one item in dispute, and that neither party prevails on every
item in dispute, then the expenses shall be apportioned according to the
monetary value of the items decided against each party. The parties shall pay
their apportioned shares of the expenses involved in such decision making,
within fifteen (15) days of the date of decision.

          In addition, for a given calendar year during the term of the Lease,
Landlord or Landlord's agent shall have the right to reasonably estimate the
Operating Expenses for such calendar year, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord,
together with and in addition to basic rent and other charges for such calendar
year an amount equal to Tenant's share of such estimated Operating Expenses
after accounting for Base Year Stops and agreed caps, which amount shall be paid
in equal monthly installments over the portion of the calendar year subsequent
to Landlord's making of such estimate. Thereafter, when Landlord has determined
the actual amount of the Operating Expenses for such calendar year, the
difference between the amount of Tenant's share of the estimated Operating
Expenses paid by Tenant and Tenant's share of the Operating Expenses shall be
refunded to or paid by the Tenant within thirty (30) days after the date of
Landlord's bill. It is understood and agreed that

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

 Landlord or Landlord's agent shall retain books and records at Landlord's or
 its agents offices which set forth the Operating Expenses for the Building and
 shall make available upon Tenant's prior written request such books and records
 for Tenant's review during the normal business hours of Landlord for a period
 of two (2) years from and after the incurring of such Operating Expenses.

           All amounts payable by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to this
 Subparagraph 3(b) or any other provision of this Lease shall be deemed
 additional rent, and, in the event of nonpayment thereof, Landlord shall have
 all the rights and remedies herein provided for in case of nonpayment of rent.

          4. PERMITTED USE AND RESTRICTIONS ON USE: The Premises shall be used
             -------------------------------------
only as GENERAL OFFICE use or for any other lawful purposes with Landlord's
prior written consent. Tenant shall use and occupy the Premises for such
purposes throughout the term hereof. Tenant shall not do or permit anything to
be done in or about the Premises which in any way will obstruct or interfere
with the rights of any other tenants or occupants of the Building, or injure or
unreasonably annoy them, or use or allow the Premises to be used for any
improper, immoral, unlawful or objectionable purpose, injure or tend to injure
the reputation of the Building or any part thereof, or cause any lines to form
in the common areas of the Building. Tenant shall not cause, commit, maintain,

customers and invitees shall have the reasonable nonexclusive right to use (in

their respective employees, customers and invitees, and all other to whom
Landlord has or may hereafter grant rights to use the same) such elevator,
stairways, corridors, parking lot, sidewalks, and other common areas and
facilities, if any, as may from time to time exist and be generally available to
all occupants of the Building. Landlord shall have the right to close any or all
portions of the common areas and facilities to such extent as may, in Landlord's
opinion, be necessary to prevent a dedication thereof or the accrual of any
rights to any person or the public therein. Landlord shall at all times have
full control, management and direction of the common areas and facilities and
shall maintain and repair the same. Landlord reserves the right at any time to
reduce, increase, enclose or otherwise change the size, number, location, layout
and nature of the common areas and facilities and the other tenancies and
premises included in the Building, to construct additional buildings and
stories, and to create additional Rentable Areas through use and/or enclosure of
common areas, to place signs on the Building and to change the name, number or
designation by which the Building or Premises is commonly known. Tenant shall
not at any time interfere with the rights of Landlord, other tenants, and their
respective employees, agents, officers and invitees, to use any part of the
Building and common areas. If Tenant's operation of its business within the
Premises be materially interfered with or if free access to the Premises is
barred in excess of three (3) consecutive business days for any reason
whatsoever, Tenant shall be entitled to an abatement of rent. If such
interference continues for fifteen (15) consecutive business days, Tenant may
cancel this Lease on notice to the Landlord. In exercising its rights under this
paragraph, Landlord

                                      -3-

shall use reasonable efforts to limit interference with Tenant's use of the
Premises.

          6. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND RULES: Tenant shall not use the Premises
             ------------------------------
or permit anything to be done in or about the Premises which will in any way
conflict with any law, statute, ordinance or governmental rule or regulation now
in force or hereafter enacted or promulgated. Tenant shall not do or permit
anything to be done on or about the Premises or bring or keep anything which
will in any way increase the cost of any insurance no or hereafter carried on
the Building or any of its contents, or that will invalidate any such insurance
or grant the insurer a defense thereon. Except as otherwise provided herein,
Tenant shall at its sole cost and expense promptly comply with all laws, orders,
statutes, ordinances and governmental rules, regulation or requirements now or
hereafter in force, and with the requirements of any duly constituted public
authority having jurisdiction over the Premises, except that Tenant shall not be
required to make structural changes (including but not limited to structural
changes to the roof, parapet, walls, gutters, downspouts, foundation and load-
bearing walls) not related to or affected by Tenant's alterations or
improvements or by a change in Tenant's use of the Premises. Landlord warrants
and represents that upon the commencement date of this Lease the condition of
the Premises will comply with all laws, orders, statutes, ordinances and
governmental rules, regulations or requirements, including compliance with ADA,

having jurisdiction over the Premises and the local Board of Fire Underwriters
or any similar body now in force. Tenant shall also comply with the Rules and
Regulations in effect on the date hereof (as set forth in Exhibit B attached
hereto, which is hereby incorporated herein) and with such reasonable additional
rules and regulations, and such reasonable amendments to the existing rules and
regulations, as may from time to time be made or established by Landlord to
govern the use, occupancy and operation of the Building (herein, including any
such additions and amendments, called the "Rules and Regulations"). Landlord
shall use due diligence to enforce the performance of the Rules and Regulations
by the other tenants and occupants of the Building. Tenant's obligation under
this Article or any other similar provision of the Lease (including the Rules
and Regulations, if any) shall be limited to those situations in which a
violation, order or duty is imposed resulting from the particular use made of
the demised Premises or any portion thereof by Tenant, it being understood that
Tenant shall not be responsible for complying with any violations, orders, codes
or duties which are imposed on the building generally and which would have to be
complied with whether Tenant or any other tenants were then in possession of the
demised Premises.

attend to such replacement, and its charges therefor shall be reasonable.
Landlord may adopt a system of relamping and reballasting periodically on a
group basis. If Landlord elects to make available to tenants in the Building
other services or supplies including but not limited to those services set forth
in Paragraph 26 of the Rules and Regulations, which shall benefit all tenants or
which Landlord could not provide efficiently if certain tenants refused to
obtain it (such as piped-in music), or arranges a master contract therefor,
Tenant shall pay its proportionate share of the expense. It Tenant wishes to
obtain any of such services outside the normal business days and hours for such
services, the, if the service desired is available, special arrangements must be
made with Landlord, and Tenant shall pay Landlord's then standard charge for any
such additional services so furnished. Landlord shall not be liable for, and
Tenant shall not be entitled to, any abatement or reduction of rental by reason
of interruption of Landlord's failure to furnish any of the foregoing when such
failure is caused by accident, breakage, repairs, strikes, lockouts or other
labor disputes of any character, or by any other similar or dissimilar cause
beyond the reasonable control of Landlord. Landlord shall not be liable under
any circumstances for loss of, or injury to, property or person, however
occurring through or in connection with or incidental to the furnishing of,
interruption of or a failure to furnish any of the foregoing, including

omissions of the personnel performing janitorial or cleaning services. Any
services, other than those agreed herein to be provided by Landlord, which are
consumed on the Premises, shall be paid for by Tenant. Tenant shall have access

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

of services which Landlord is obligated to provide for Tenant causes any portion
of the Premises to become unusable by Tenant for more than Five (5)
consecutive business days, then and in that event Tenant shall be entitled to a
pro rata abatement of rent as to such unusable portion of the Premises
commencing with the sixth (6/th/) day that the same are unusable, provided,
however, that Tenant shall not be entitled to any abatement of rent due to
unusability (a) caused by any act or omission of Tenant or any of Tenant's
servants, employees, agents, visitors, or licensees or (b) where Tenant requests
Landlord to make a decoration, alteration, improvement, or addition or (c) where
the repair in question or the services in question are those which Tenant is
obligated to make or furnish under any of the provisions of this Lease.

          Tenant agrees at all times to cooperate fully with Landlord and to
abide by all the regulations and requirements which Landlord may prescribe for
the proper functioning and protection of all such heating, ventilating and air-
conditioning systems. Wherever heat-generating machines or equipment are used in
the Premises which shall affect the temperature otherwise maintained by the air-
conditioning system in the Premises and Tenant gives Landlord notice of such
increased temperature, or in any other portion of the Building, Landlord
reserves the right to install supplementary air-conditioning units in the
Premises and the cost of installation, operation and maintenance thereof shall
be paid by Tenant to Landlord, upon demand. Tenant will not, without the prior
written consent of Landlord, use any apparatus or device in the Premises which
will in any way increase the amount of heat, air-conditioning or water usually
furnished or supplied for use of the Premises. If Tenant shall require heat,
air-conditioning or water in excess of that usually furnished or supplied for
use of the Premises, then (i) Tenant shall first procure the written consent of
Landlord to the use thereof, which consent Landlord may refuse; and (ii) the
annual rental payable for the Premises shall be equitably adjusted upward, so
that such rental includes an appropriate amount for the additional services
expected to be consumed by Tenant in the Premises. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in no event shall personal computers or related printers be deemed
"heat generating" for purposes of this paragraph.

          8.   ELECTRICAL SERVICE AND CHARGE: Landlord agrees to provide Tenant
               -----------------------------
with standard electrical service for lighting and office equipment requirements

3 above.

including the building systems, roof, parapet walls, and foundation and load-
bearing walls unless such repairs are required by reasons of negligence or
misconduct of Tenant, its agents, employees, customers or invitees, or the
particular nature of Tenant's use of the Premises, in which case such repairs
shall be made by Tenant. Except as set forth above, if such repairs are of a
capital nature, they shall be made at Landlord's expense, otherwise they shall
be considered an Operating Expense under Paragraph 3 above. Tenant shall give
Landlord written notice of the need for any such repairs to be made by Landlord,
and Landlord shall be under no liability for damage or injury however caused in
the event of its failure to make such repairs, unless it shall have received
such notice from Tenant and failed to make such repairs within a reasonable time
after receipt of such notice. However, if such repairs cannot be completed
within thirty (30) days, it shall be considered sufficient performance if
Landlord promptly commences such repairs and continues to use due diligence to
complete such repairs as soon as reasonably possible. Except as above provided
in this Paragraph 9, Tenant shall, at its expense, keep the Premises and every
part thereof in good condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear and casualty
excepted.

or air-conditioning the Building or operating the elevator, or if the water
pipes, drainage pipes, electric lighting or other equipment of the Building or
the roof or outside walls of the Building get out of repair or become damaged or
destroyed through the negligence or misconduct of the Tenant or its agents,
employees, customers, or invitees, in any way stopping up or injuring the
heating, ventilating, or air-conditioning apparatus, elevator, water pipes,
drainage pipes or other equipment or part of the Building, the expense of the
necessary repairs, replacements or alterations shall be borne by the Tenant,

facilities located in, or serving only the Premises, and unclogging of the
plumbing systems of the Premises caused by the negligence or misconduct of
Tenant, its agents, employees, customers, or invitees shall be at Tenant's
expense. Tenant shall, at it expense, repair or

                                      -5-
<PAGE>

replace with glass of equal quality any broken or cracked plate or other glass
in doors, windows and elsewhere in the interior and on the exterior of the
Premises (except the exterior curtain wall glass and lobby wall glass) unless
the breakage shall be covered by any fire or other casualty insurance which
Landlord may carry on the Building. Repairs and replacements of exterior curtain
wall glass required by reason of negligence or misconduct of Tenant, its
agents, employees, customers, or invitees shall be done at Tenant's expense.

          10. ALTERATIONS: Tenant shall not make or suffer to be made, any
              -----------

or any part thereof, without the prior written consent of Landlord; and any such
alteration, addition, or improvement in, on or to the Premises, except movable
furniture and trade fixtures, shall at once become a part of the Building and
appurtenant realty and belong to Landlord. Any such alteration, addition or
improvement by Tenant, shall be made at Tenant's sole cost and expense, and any

compliance with all governmental requirements and rating bureau recommendations,

incompatible with those of any workmen who may be employed in the Building by
Landlord its contractors or subcontractors. Tenant shall obtain all necessary
permits from governmental authorities. Tenant agrees not to create, incur,
impose, or permit, or suffer to exist any lien or other obligation against the
Premises or Landlord (or shall provide adequate security or bond, in a manner
satisfactory to Landlord, and use due diligence to contest any such lien or
other obligation in good faith) by reason of any alteration or improvement or
any repair or decoration permitted or required to be made by Tenant pursuant to
this Lease, and Tenant agrees to hold Landlord harmless from and against any and
all claims and demands by contractors or other third persons against the
Premises or Landlord relating to or arising out of any such alteration,
improvement, repair or decoration. This Paragraph 10 shall apply to any work
performed by Tenant in making the Premises initially ready for use and
occupancy. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, if the Alterations (i)
are of a cosmetic nature such as painting, wallpapering, hanging pictures,
millwork and carpeting, (ii) are not visible from the exterior of the Premises
or the Building and (iii) do not affect the systems or the structural elements
of the Building, then such no consent shall be required; provided that even if

with this Section.

by operation of law occur or be allowed to occur. Notwithstanding Landlord's
consent to any of the foregoing, Tenant shall remain liable to Landlord for

consent to any other assignment, pledge, mortgage, encumbrance, transfer, or
sublease. If this Lease be assigned, or if the Premises or any part thereof be
subleased or occupied by anybody other than Tenant, whether with or without
Landlord's consent, Landlord may collect from the assignee, sublessee, or
occupant, any rental or other charges payable by Tenant under this Lease and not
timely paid by Tenant, and apply the amount collected to the rental and other
charges herein reserved, but such collection by Landlord shall not be deemed an
acceptance of the assignee, sublessee, or occupant as a tenant, nor a consent to
such assignment or sublease or occupancy, nor a release of Tenant from the
performance by Tenant of this Lease.

          Notwithstanding the forgoing paragraph, Tenant may assign all or part
of this Lease, or sublease all or part of the Premises, to (a) any corporation

number of persons injured or killed in one occurrence and Five Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($500,000.00) property damage (or such higher amounts as Landlord or its
lender may from time to time reasonably determine); and (b) fire insurance, with
extended coverage, vandalism and malicious mischief, theft and mysterious
disappearance endorsements and without co-insurance, covering the contents of
the Premises and all alterations, additions, and leasehold improvements made by
or for Tenant, in the amount of their full replacement value. Anything herein
to the contrary notwithstanding, Tenant shall be permitted to self-assume the
risk of physical damage to its personal property in lieu of maintaining
insurance. In the event of loss or damage to Tenant's personal property, Tenant
agrees to be responsible for repairing or replacing such damaged property. All
of such policies shall cover both Landlord and Tenant, as their interests may
appear, and all insurers thereon shall agree not to cancel or change the same
without at least twenty (20) days prior written notice to Landlord.

          Anything in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, Landlord and
Tenant each hereby waives any and all rights of recovery, claim, action, or
causes of action, against the other, its agents, servants, partners,
shareholders, officers, or employees, for any loss or damage that may occur to
the leased Premises or the Building, or any improvements thereto, or any
personal property of such party therein, by reason of fire, the elements, or any
other cause which could be insured against under the terms of standard fire and
extended coverage insurance policies regardless of cause or origin, including
negligence of the other party hereto, its agents, officers, partners,
shareholders, servants, or employees, and covenants that no insurer shall hold
any right of subrogation against such other party. Landlord and Tenant will
cause their respective insurers to issue appropriate waiver of subrogation
rights endorsements to all policies of insurance carried in connection with the
Building and the demised Premises.

          14. NONLIABILITY OF LANDLORD: Except for the gross negligence and
              ------------------------
willful misconduct of the Landlord, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant, and
Tenant hereby waives all claims against Landlord, for any injury or damage to
any person or property in or about the Premises by or from any cause whatsoever,
including, without limitation the generality of the foregoing, those caused by
snow, ice or water leakage of any character from the roof, walls, basement, or
other portion of the Premises or the Building, or caused by gas, fire, oil,
electricity, or any cause whatsoever in, on, or about the Premises or Building
or caused by the acts of negligence of other tenants or occupants of premises in
the Building.

          15. INDEMNITY: Tenant shall hold Landlord harmless and indemnified
              ----------
from and against any and all claims or liability for any injury or damage to any
person or property whatsoever, excepting any injury or damage to any person or
property caused by Landlord's

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

active negligence or willful misconduct; (a) occurring in, on, or about the
Premises or any part thereof, however caused; (b) occurring in, on, or about any
facilities (including, without prejudice to the generality of the term
"facilities", elevator, stairways, passageways, or hallways) the use of which
Tenant may have in conjunction with other tenants and occupants of the Building,
when such injury or damage shall be the act, neglect, fault of, or omission of
any duty with respect to the same, by Tenant, its employees, customers, or
invitees; or (c) arising out of or resulting from Tenant's use and occupancy of
the Premises or any equipment therein or appurtenances thereto.

          Landlord agrees to indemnify and save harmless Tenant, its officers,
employees, contractors, or licensees against and from all claims arising from
any active negligence or willful misconduct negligent act of Landlord, or of
Landlord's agents, employees, contractors, or licensees. Tenant agrees to
indemnify and save harmless Landlord its officers, employees, contractors, or
licensees against and from all claims arising from any negligent act of Tenant,
or of Tenant's agents, employees, contractors, or licensees.

          16. TAXES PAYABLE BY TENANT: Tenant agrees to pay, before delinquency,
              -----------------------
any and all taxes which are or should be levied or assessed and which become
payable during the term hereof upon Tenant's equipment, furniture, fixtures, and
other personal property located in the Premises.

          17. HOLDING OVER: Tenant shall pay Landlord for each day Tenant
              ------------
retains possession of the Premises or any part thereof after termination hereof,
by lapse of time or otherwise, at a rate equal to 150% of the annual rent, as
adjusted for Operating Expense Increases, divided by 365 and also pay all
additional rent and all damages sustained by Landlord by reason of such
retention. If Landlord gives written notice to Tenant of Landlord's election
thereof, such holding over shall constitute an extension of this Lease for a
period from month to month, on the terms and conditions of this Lease. This
provision shall not be deemed to waive Landlord's right of re-entry or any other
right hereunder or at law.

          18. SUBORDINATION TO GROUND LEASES AND MORTGAGES: This Lease is and
              --------------------------------------------
shall be subject and subordinate at all times to all ground or underlying leases
which may hereafter by executed affecting the Premises, the Building and/or all
or any part of the land upon which the Building is situated, and to the lien of
any mortgages in any amount or amounts whatsoever now, herebefore or hereafter
placed on or against the land and buildings or either thereof, of which the
Premises are a part, or on or against Landlord's interest or estate therein, or
any part of or interest (and in all cases including all extensions, renewals,
amendments and supplements to any ground or underlying lease or mortgage),
without the necessity of the execution and delivery of any further instruments
on the part of Tenant to effectuate such subordination. Tenant covenants and
agrees to execute and deliver upon demand such further instruments evidencing
such subordination of this Lease to such ground or underlying leases and to the
lien of any such mortgages as may be required by Landlord and Tenant further
agrees to attorn to and recognize the holder of any mortgage or the Landlord
under any ground lease. Notwithstanding anything hereinabove contained in this
Paragraph 18, in the event the holder of any mortgage or the Landlord under any
ground or underlying lease shall at any time elect to have this Lease constitute
a prior and superior lien to its mortgage or lease, then, and in such event,
upon any such holder or Landlord notifying Tenant to that effect in writing,
this lease shall be deemed prior and superior in lien to such mortgage or lease,
as the case may be, whether this Lease is dated prior to or subsequent to the
date of such mortgage or lease. If the Premises are subject to any Mortgage or
Deed of Trust as of the date hereof or if a Mortgage or Deed of Trust is placed
after such date, and Tenant is not in default of this Lease, Landlord shall
cause the holder of such Mortgage or Deed of Trust to execute and deliver to
Tenant a non-disturbance Subordination and Attornment Agreement in a form
reasonably acceptable to Landlord and Tenant.

          19. LANDLORD'S RIGHT OF ACCESS: Landlord and its agents and employees
              --------------------------
shall at all times have the right to enter the Premises on reasonable notice to
Tenant, at any reasonable time (except in emergencies, in which case the time
for entry shall not be so limited) to inspect the same, to supply any service to
be provided by Landlord to Tenant hereunder, to show the Premises to prospective
purchasers, mortgagees or tenants (provided showings to prospective tenants of
the Premises shall be limited to the last 6 months of the lease term) and to
alter, improve or repair the Premises and any potion of the Building without
abatement of rent and may for that purpose erect, use and maintain scaffolding,
pipes, conduits and other necessary structures in and through the Premises where
required by the character of the work to be performed. For each of the aforesaid
purposes, Landlord shall at all times have and retain a key with which to unlock
all of the doors in, upon or about the

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

Premises, excluding Tenant's vaults and safes (which placement must be
designated in advance by Tenant, and approved in writing by Landlord), and
Landlord shall have the right to use any and all means which Landlord may deem
necessary or proper to open such doors in an emergency in order to obtain entry
to any portion of the Premises. Any entry to the Premises or portions thereof by
Landlord by any of such means, or otherwise, shall not under any circumstances
be construed or deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a retainer
of, the Premises, or an eviction, actual or constructive, of Tenant from the
Premises or any portions thereof. Landlord shall conduct its activities at a
time and in a manner so as to minimize any disruption of or interference with
Tenant's business or access to the Premises.

          20. EASEMENT FOR PIPES: Tenant shall permit Landlord (or its
              ------------------
designee) to erect, use, maintain, replace and repair, pipes, cables, conduits,
plumbing, vents, telephone, electric and other wires or other items, in, to and
through the Premises, as and to the extent that Landlord may now or hereafter
deem to be necessary or appropriate for the proper operation and maintenance of
the Building provided the same are installed at such times and by such methods
as will not materially interfere with Tenant's use of the demises Premises or
damage the appearance thereof or reduce the area of the demises Premises and are
concealed behind the walls, floors and/or ceilings of the demises Premises as
then constructed. In the event Landlord needs access to any under-floor duct,
Landlord's liability for carpet replacement shall be limited to replacement of
the piece removed to gain such access provided, however, the carpet shall be
restored to reasonably the same appearance as prior to such Landlord access. All
such work shall be done, so far as practicable, in such manner as to minimize
interference with Tenant's use and occupancy of the Premises.

          21. INSOLVENCY OR BANKRUPTCY OF TENANT: The appointment of a receiver
              ----------------------------------
to take possession of all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant, or an
assignment by Tenant for the benefit of creditors, or any action taken or
suffered by Tenant under any insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization act, shall
at Landlord's option, constitute a breach of this Lease by Tenant. Upon the
happening of any such event or at any time thereafter, this Lease shall
terminate five (5) days after written notice of termination from Landlord to
Tenant. In no event shall this lease be assigned or assignable by operation of
law or by voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceedings or otherwise, and in
no event shall this Lease or any rights or privileges hereunder be an asset of
Tenant under any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization proceedings.

          22. DEFAULT: If: (a) default be made in the payment of the rental or
              -------
any additional charge payable hereunder by Tenant, and such default shall
continue for ten (10) days after written notice by Landlord to Tenant; or (b)
default be made in any of the other covenants or conditions herein contained on
the part of Tenant, and such default shall continue for thirty (30) days after
written notice thereof shall have been given to Tenant (if such default is a
curable default, but not of a type which can be corrected within thirty (30)
days, then if Tenant fails to promptly commence, diligently pursue and to
continue to do so in order to correct such default); or (c) if this Lease shall,
by act of Tenant or by operation of law or otherwise, devolve or pass to any
party other then Tenant, except with the prior written consent of Landlord, then
and in any of the above-described events, Tenant shall be in breach of this
Lease, and Landlord shall have the rights and remedies herein referred to and/or
provided. In the event of any breach by Tenant, beyond applicable periods of
notice and grace, Landlord, besides any other rights or remedies it may have by
law or otherwise, shall have the immediate right of re-entry and the right to
remove all persons and property from the Premises. Such property may be removed
and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account
of Tenant. Should Landlord elect to re-enter as herein provided, or should
Landlord take possession pursuant to legal proceedings or pursuant to any notice
provided by law, Landlord may either terminate this Lease or may from time to
time, without terminating this Lease, relet the Premises or any part thereof for
such term or terms (which may for a term extending beyond the term of this
Lease) and at such rental or rentals and upon such other terms and conditions as
Landlord, in the exercise of Landlord's sole discretion, may deem advisable,
including but not by way of limitation, the right to make alterations and
repairs to the Premises. Upon each such reletting (i) Tenant shall be
immediately liable to pay to Landlord, in addition to any rent and any other
sums due hereunder, the reasonable cost and expense of such reletting and of
such alterations and repairs incurred by Landlord, and the amount, if any, by
which the rent reserved in this Lease for the period of such reletting (up to
but not beyond the term of this Lease), exceeds the amount agreed to be paid
as rent for the Premises for such period of such reletting; or (ii) at the
option of Landlord, rents received by Landlord from such reletting shall be
applied first, to the payment of any sums due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord,
other than rent; second, to the payment of any costs and expenses of such
reletting and of such alterations and repairs;

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

third, to the payment of rent due and unpaid hereunder; and the residue, if any,
shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future rents as the same
may become due and payable hereunder. If Tenant has been credited with any rent
to be received by such reletting under option (i), and such rent shall not be
promptly paid to Landlord by the new tenant, or if such rentals received from
such reletting under option (ii) during any months be less than that to be paid
during that month by Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall pay any such deficiency to
Landlord. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly, within ten (10)
days of notification of such deficiency. No such re-entry or taking possession
of the Premises by Landlord shall be construed as an election on Landlord's part
to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention be given to
Tenant or unless the termination thereof be decreed by a court of competent
jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination, Landlord
may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for any such previous
breach. Should Landlord at any time terminate this Lease for any breach, in
addition to any other remedy Landlord may have, Landlord may recover from Tenant
all damages Landlord may incur by reason of such breach, including the cost of
recovering the Premises, and including the worth at the time of such termination
of the excess, if any, of the amount of rent and charges equivalent to rent
reserved in this Lease for the remainder of the stated term over the then
reasonable rental value of the Premises for the remainder of the stated term,
all of which amounts shall be immediately due and payable by Tenant to Landlord.

          All covenants and agreements to be performed by the Landlord or Tenant
under any of the terms and conditions of this lease shall be performed by the
party obligated to do so at the party's sole cost and expense (and without any
abatement of rent by Tenant). If the Tenant shall fail to pay any sum of money,
other than rent, required to be paid by it hereunder or shall fail to perform
any other act on its part to be to be performed hereunder, and such failure
shall continue beyond applicable periods of notice and grace, the Landlord may,
on reasonable notice to Tenant, but shall not be obligated so to do, and without
waiving or releasing the Tenant from any obligations of the Tenant, make any
such payment or perform any such other act. All sums so paid by Landlord and all
necessary incidental costs, and all costs and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' fees) incurred by Landlord in enforcing any of the terms, covenants
or conditions of this lease, or in suing for or obtaining relief by reason of a
breach thereof, together with interest on all of the forgoing at the rate of
twelve percent (12%) per annum from the date of payment or incurring by the
Landlord (or the highest rate allowed by law, whichever is less), shall be
payable as additional rent to the Landlord on demand, and Tenant covenants to
pay any such sums, costs and expenses Landlord shall have, in addition to any
other right or remedy of the Landlord, which rights and remedies shall be the
same as in the case of default by Tenant in the payment of the rent.

          Failure of Landlord or Tenant to exercise its rights in connection
with any breach or violation of any term, covenant, or condition herein
contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such term, covenant or condition
for any subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition
herein contained. The subsequent acceptance of rent hereunder by Landlord shall
not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any term,
covenant or condition of this lease, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the
particular rental so accepted, regardless of Landlord's knowledge of such
preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such rent.

          A material default by Tenant or any affiliate of Tenant in the prompt
and full-payment of any sums due Landlord (or any affiliate of Landlord) or in
the complete and timely performance of any of the terms, covenants and
conditions on its part contained in this lease or any other collateral
agreements or documents to which Landlord (or affiliate of Landlord) and Tenant
(or any affiliate of Tenant) are parties shall constitute a material default by
Tenant under this Lease, and a default by Tenant under this Lease shall
constitute a material default under such other collateral agreement or document
by Tenant (or its affiliate).

          23. SALE BY LANDLORD: In the event of a sale or conveyance by Landlord
              ----------------
of the Building or any part of the Building including the Premises, the same
shall operate to release Landlord from any future liability upon any of the
covenants and conditions herein contained, and in such event, Tenant agrees to
look solely to the responsibility of the successor in interest of Landlord in
and to this Lease. The Lease shall not be affected by any such sale or
conveyance, and Tenant agrees to attorn to the purchaser or grantee, which shall
be personally obligated on this Lease only so long as it is the owner of
Landlord's interest in and to this Lease. If Landlord shall fail to perform any
term, covenant or condition of this Lease upon Landlord's part to be performed
and, as a consequence of such default, Tenant shall recover a money judgment
against Landlord, such judgment shall be satisfied only out of the proceeds of
sale received upon execution of such judgment and levy thereon against the

                                      -10-
<PAGE>

right, title and interest of Landlord in the Building and out of rents or other
income from such property receivable by Landlord and Landlord shall not be
liable for any deficiency.

          24.  NOTICES: All notices and demands which may or are required to be
               -------
given by either party to the other hereunder shall be in writing, and given by
personal delivery or sent by United States certified or registered mail, postage
prepaid. Notices and demands to Tenant shall be addressed to Tenant at 100 EAST
WISCONSIN AVENUE, SUITE 2700, MILWAUKEE, WI 53202. Notices and demands to the
Landlord shall be addressed to it at 710 North Plankinton Avenue, Suite 1400,
Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53203, or to such other firm or to such other place as
Landlord may from time to time designate in a written notice to the Tenant. All
such notices and demands shall be deemed to be given on the date such notice is
personally delivered or on the date three (3) business days after the date such
notices or demands are deposited in the United States certified or registered
mail.

          25.  SURRENDER OF PREMISES: Upon the termination of this Lease, by
               ---------------------
expiration or otherwise, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord in as
good condition and repair as when delivered by Landlord, wear and tear,
obsolescence and damage from the elements, fire and other casualty excepted
unless caused by the negligence or misconduct of Tenant or its agents or
employees. All alterations, additions, improvements and decorations made to the
Premises by Tenant shall remain and become the property of the Landlord. All
trade fixtures and other equipment and personal property owned by Tenant may be
removed from the Premises by Tenant no later than the expiration date of this
Lease, and provided that Tenant shall repair any and all damage caused by such
removal.

          26.  FIRE DAMAGE: If the Premises shall be destroyed or damaged by
               -----------
fire or other casualty, covered by standard extended coverage endorsement,
Landlord shall (unless this Lease shall be terminated as hereinafter provided)
diligently proceed, after adjustment of such loss, to repair or restore the
basic building structure and facilities of the Premises, together with all items
which Landlord furnished to Tenant upon the commencement of the term hereof, to
the condition in which they existed immediately prior to such destruction or
damage. Of the Premises or any part thereof shall be rendered untenantable by
any destruction or damage, whether covered by standard extended coverage
endorsement or not, a just proportion of the rental based upon the number of
square feet of area in the Premises which are untenantable, shall be abated
until the Premises or such part thereof shall have been put in tenantable
condition by Landlord. In the event, however, that any destruction or damage to
the Premises, or to the Building (regardless of whether or not the Premises be
affected), is so extensive that Landlord, in its sole discretion, shall elect
not to repair or restore the Premises or Building, as the case may be, Landlord
may terminate this Lease (effective as of the date of the destruction or damage)
by written notice to Tenant given within ninety (90) days after the occurrence
of the event giving rise to the damage or destruction. In the event that this
Lease is terminated, Tenant shall not have any claim against Landlord,
including for the value of the unexpired term of the Lease or for the expenses
of moving to another location.

          Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if the Premises or
the Building is destroyed, or so damaged that in normal course it cannot be
repaired and made tenantable within ninety (90) days, or so damaged that
Landlord shall decide not to repair or rebuild, either Landlord or Tenant may
terminate this lease by giving notice to the other, and the rent shall be paid
to or adjusted as of the date of the damage, and Tenant shall thereupon vacate
the Premises and surrender them to Landlord.

          27.  COMPENSATION: If all or a substantial portion of the Premises
               ------------
shall be taken by any public authority under its power of condemnation, this
Lease shall terminate with respect to the portion or entirety of the Premises so
acquired as of the date title shall be taken by the acquiring authority, and the
rental payable hereunder shall be apportioned accordingly. If any part of the
Building shall be taken, then Landlord (whether or not the Premises be affected)
shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon giving written notice thereof
to Tenant within six (6) months after such taking. In such event this Lease
shall terminate on the date stated in the notice, and the rental payable
hereunder shall be apportioned accordingly. Upon any such taking and the
continuing force of the Lease as to a part of the Premises, the rental payable
thereafter shall be reduced in proportion to the amount of total floor area of
the Premises taken. In the event of any such taking, Landlord, at it expense,
shall, unless this lease has been terminated, diligently rebuild or restore the
remainder of the Premises (including the items furnished by Landlord to Tenant
at the commencement of the term of this Lease) to the condition in which it
existed at the time of such taking. Landlord's obligations shall be limited to
the rebuilding or restoration of such basic building structure and facilities as
Landlord furnished upon the commencement of the term hereof. In any event, all

                                      -11-
<PAGE>

damages awarded by the acquiring authority for any such taking, whether for the
whole or a part of the Premises or Building, shall belong to and be the property
of Landlord whether such damages shall be awarded as compensation for loss of,
or diminution in value to, the leasehold or the fee thereof; provided, however,
that Landlord shall not be entitled to any award made for the loss of any of
Tenant's trade fixtures or movable personal property or the cost of relocating
or removing its personal property. In the event that this lease if terminated as
hereinabove provided, Tenant shall not have any claim against Landlord, for the
value of the unexpired term hereof or for the expenses of moving to another
location.

          28.  COVENANT OF QUIET ENJOYMENT: Landlord covenants that it has full
               ---------------------------
right, title and authority to enter into this Lease. So long as Tenant shall
duly and punctually perform and observe all of its obligations under this
Lease, Tenant shall peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises
free from let or hindrance by Landlord or any party claiming by, through or
under Landlord, subject and subordinate to any: zoning, use and building laws,
ordinances, and regulation; recorded building and use restrictions and
covenants; easements for public utilities;

          29.  APPLICABLE LAW AND CONSTRUCTION: The laws of the State of
               -------------------------------
Wisconsin shall govern the validity, performance and enforcement of this Lease.
The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Lease shall not
affect or impair any other provision. The headings of the several articles and
sections contained herein are for convenience only and do not define, limit or
construe the contents thereof. Whenever herein the singular number is used, the
same shall include the plural, and the masculine gender shall include the
feminine and neuter genders. In the event that either party hereto shall be
delayed or hindered in or prevented from the performance of any act required
hereunder by reason of strikes, lockouts, labor troubles, inability to procure
materials, failure of power, restrictive governmental laws or regulations,
riots, insurrection, war or other reason of a like nature not the fault of the
party delayed in performing work or doing acts required under the terms of this
lease, then performance of such act shall be excused for the period of the delay
and the period for the performance of any such act shall be extended for a
period equivalent to the period of such delay. The provision of this section
shall not operate to excuse Tenant from prompt payment of rent, additional rent
or any other payments required by the terms of this Lease except as otherwise
provided herein.

          30.  EXECUTION OF LEASE BY LANDLORD: Employees or agents of Landlord
               ------------------------------
have no authority to make or agree to make a lease or any other agreement or
undertaking in connection herewith. The submission of this document for
examination does not constitute an offer to lease, or a reservation of, or
option for, the Premises, and this document becomes effective and binding only
upon the execution and delivery hereof by Landlord and Tenant. Tenant confirms
that Landlord and its agents have made no representations or promises with
respect to the Premises or the making or entry into of this Lease except as in
this lease expressly set forth, and agrees that no claim or liability shall be
asserted by Tenant against Landlord for, and Landlord shall not be liable by
reason of, breach of any representations or promises not expressly stated in
this Lease. This Lease can be modified or altered only by an instrument in
writing executed by each of the parties hereto.

          31.  BINDING EFFECT OF LEASES: The covenants, agreements and
               ------------------------
obligations herein contained, except as herein otherwise specifically provided,
shall extend to, bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective personal representatives, heirs, successors and assigns (but in the
case of assigns of Tenant only to the extent that assignment is permitted
hereunder). No third party, (other than such successors and assigns), shall be
entitled to enforce any or all of the terms of this lease or shall have rights
hereunder whatsoever.

          32.  LANDLORD APPROVAL: Wherever it is indicated in this Lease that
               -----------------
consent or approval must first be obtained from the Landlord by the Tenant, the
Landlord agrees in such instance that it will not unreasonably withhold or delay
its consent, however, such approval by Landlord may be subject to mortgagee
approval and in such event Landlord shall use its best efforts to obtain the
consent of mortgagee within a reasonable time.

          33.  ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES: Tenant, at the request of the Landlord, at
               ---------------------
any time and from time to time, shall, upon not less that fifteen (15) days
prior notice, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord, in accordance with
the notice provisions contained Paragraph 24, a statement in writing certifying

limitation contained in this Lease, and if in default, specifying each such
default, it being intended that any such statement delivered pursuant to this
Paragraph may be relied upon by Landlord, or any prospective purchaser or
assignee or mortgagee.
