      THIS LEASE ("LEASE") is made this 11 day of February, 2005 ("Execution
Date"), by and between GSI Lumonics Corporation, a Michigan corporation, whose
address is 39 Manning Road, Billerica, MA 01821 ("LANDLORD"), and SEWS-DTC,
Inc., a Delaware corporation authorized to conduct business in Michigan, whose
address is currently 5850 Mercury Drive, Suite 250, Dearborn, MI 48126
("TENANT").

                                  WITNESSETH:

                                   ARTICLE I
                                 GRANT AND TERM

      1.01  LEASED PREMISES. Landlord, in consideration of the rent to be paid
and the covenants to be performed by Tenant, does hereby demise and lease unto
Tenant, and Tenant hereby rents from Landlord, a building and related site
improvements, including 155 parking spaces described in Section 4.8 below on
land located at 22300 Haggerty Road, Farmington Hills, Oakland County, Michigan,
more particularly described on EXHIBIT A attached (the "Leased Premises"). The
building on the Leased Premises consists of 56,290 square feet for purposes of
calculating rent as set forth in Article II.

      1.02  LEASE TERM AND ACCESS. The Landlord shall give Tenant access to the
Leased Premises for Tenant's Work that will not materially interfere with
Landlord's operations starting April 1, 2005, through May 31,2005. Starting June
1,2005, (the "Access Date") Landlord will not have access to the space. Tenant
will then have full control for purposes of completing all remaining Tenant's
Work described in Article IV. Tenant will be allowed to move into the space if
it finishes Tenant's Work earlier any time following this date. The Tenant has
inspected the Leased Premises, and Tenant accepts the Leased Premises "as is"
(except for items to be fixed in Exhibit B) in its existing condition. The
initial term of this Lease ("Initial Term") shall be sixty-six (66) months
after the Rent Commencement Date (as such term is defined in Section 2.01
below). The phrase "Lease Term" or "Term" as used in this Lease shall be the
Initial Term of this Lease including the Renewal Term, if properly elected and
permitted pursuant to Section 1.03 below.

      1.03  RENEWAL TERM. If at the time of Tenant's Renewal Notice, Tenant has
the financial ability to meet its obligations for the Renewal Term as determined
by Landlord based on standards of commercial reasonableness, Tenant shall have
the option to extend the Initial Term for an additional sixty (60) months (the
"Renewal Term") by giving written notice to Landlord at least six (6) months
prior to the expiration of the Initial Term ("Renewal Notice"). Landlord shall
review Tenant's credit, upon receiving Tenant's Renewal Notice, and if Tenant's
credit is not acceptable to Landlord based on standards of commercial
reasonableness, Tenant shall have no right to renew this Lease. Rent during the
Renewal Term shall be determined by taking ninety-five (95%) percent of fair
market rent for a building of similar standard and located within a three (3)
mile radius of the Premises as determined by averaging the rental rates quoted

                                        3

<PAGE>

by three brokers experienced in commercial leasing in the area of the Premises,
unless there is no brokerage commission due with respect to the exercise of the
Renewal Term, in which case base rent shall be established at ninety-three (93%)
percent of fair market rent for a building of similar standard and located
within a three (3) mile radius of the Premises; provided, however, in no event
shall Base Rent be lower than Base Rent for the immediately preceding year.

      1.04  SECURITY DEPOSIT. Landlord acknowledges receipt of Fifty Six
Thousand Two Hundred Ninety ($56,290.00) Dollars from Tenant on the Execution
Date which shall act as security for Tenant's faithful performance of its
obligations under this Lease (the "Security Deposit"). Landlord shall hold the
Security Deposit until the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
Landlord shall not be required to account for any interest on the Security
Deposit nor maintain the Security Deposit in a segregated account. Landlord
shall have the right but not the obligation to use the Security Deposit or any
portion thereof in the performance of Tenant's obligations in the event of
Tenant's default. Tenant shall promptly replace any portion of the Security
Deposit used by Landlord as provided under this Section 1.04 upon written notice
from Landlord.

      1.05  LANDLORD'S CONTINUED OCCUPANCY. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, any or all of Landlord's employees and property
presently located at the Leased Premises shall be removed prior to the Access
Date. If Landlord is one day late past June 1, 2005, then the rent commencement
date will be pushed back one month and Landlord will provide another two month's
free rent. If the Landlord is not out by July 1, 2005, then it will owe another
two month's free rent, and so on.

                                   ARTICLE II
                                      RENT

      2.01  BASE RENT. Tenant shall pay Base Rent in monthly installments in
advance on or before the fifteenth day of each month of the Term commencing on
the earlier of a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy (for work done in Exhibits B
& C) or the first day of the month following 90 days after Landlord has fully
exited the building (the "Rent Commencement Date") and each month thereafter; in
accordance with the schedule set forth in Exhibit E ("Base Rent"). Exhibit E to
be finalized and executed within 10 business days of building Access Date.

      Base Rent together with any and all other payments due under this Lease
shall be referred to herein as "Rent."

      2.02  TENANT'S TAX OBLIGATION.

      (a)   As of the Rent Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a
prorated share of current real estate taxes and assessments levied against the
Leased Premises on a due date basis as if paid in advance. Upon expiration of
the Term, so long as Tenant is not in default, Landlord shall pay to Tenant a
prorated share of then current real estate taxes and assessments levied against
the Leased Premises on a due date basis as if paid in advance.

      (b)   Subject to (c) below, commencing with Rent Commencement Date, Tenant
shall be responsible for reimbursement to Landlord for all real estate taxes,
assessments, general and special, personal property taxes pertaining to the
Leased Premises. Such taxes shall be paid monthly by Tenant as follows: Tenant
shall pay to Landlord, on dates upon which Base Rent is payable hereunder, such
amounts as the Landlord, from time to time shall estimate as necessary to create
and maintain a reserve fund from which to pay before the same become due all
real estate taxes, assessments, general and special, personal property taxes and
other reasonable charges which may thereafter become due and payable on or with
respect to the Leased Premises and all improvements located thereon for the
balance of the Term. Such reserve fund shall not bear interest. If allowed by
the taxing authority, payment of special assessments shall be made on an
installment basis extending over the maximum period of time available and Tenant
shall only be liable for installments due during the Term, subject to prorations
described in (a) above. Should the State of Michigan or any political
subdivision thereof, or any governmental authority having jurisdiction
thereover, impose a sales or other tax and/or assessment of any kind or nature
upon, against or with respect to the rentals payable by Tenant to Landlord, or
on the income of Landlord derived from the Leased Premises, or with respect to
the ownership of land and building comprising the Leased Premises, by way of
substitution for all or any part of the taxes and assessments levied or assessed
against the Leased Premises, such tax and/or assessment shall be deemed to
constitute a tax and/or assessment against the Leased Premises for the purposes
of this section, provided, however, Tenant's obligations hereunder shall be
computed as if the Leased Premises and the rents reserved were the only factors
subject to such tax and/or assessment. Tenant shall pay all sales and other such
taxes on rents hereunder (other than Landlord's income tax and single business
tax) to the requisite receiving authority with proper returns, discharging such
obligations when due. Tenant shall pay all personal property taxes levied
against personal property of any kind or nature on the Leased Premises for and
during the Term prior to the date penalty attaches and evidence of such payment
shall promptly thereafter be furnished to Landlord.

      (c)   In the event Landlord sells the Leased Premises and such sale
results in an increase in the taxable value of the Leased Premises, then so long
as Tenant is not in default and this Lease remains in full force and effect,
then Landlord shall pay one-half (1/2) of the increase in the real estate taxes
for the Leased Premises resulting from the sale billed during the first year
after such sale, and one-fourth (1/4) of such tax increase resulting from the
sale billed during the second year after such sale. With the consent of the
Landlord, including Landlord's successor upon the sale of the Premises, which
shall not be unreasonably withheld, Tenant shall have the right to appeal any
increase in the real estate taxes resulting from the sale in accordance with the
procedures established by applicable governmental authorities including the
Michigan Tax Tribunal, and the laws of the State of Michigan. Provided, however,
Tenant shall pay all interest, costs and attorneys fees associated with such
appeal, and the tax being appealed shall be paid pending a decision on the
appeal, to the extent that payment is required to prevent accrual interest or
penalties.

      2.03  NON-ABATEMENT. Rent shall not abate for any reason during the Term
except as otherwise expressly permitted by law, and subject to the provisions of
Section 14.22 below.

                                        5

      2.04  NET LEASE. Except as provided in Section 1.02 above, and Section
4.04 below concerning Landlord's corrections and Landlord's responsibility for
certain structural and capital improvements, the Rent payable by Tenant to
Landlord, shall be net to Landlord so that this Lease shall yield, net, to
Landlord, the Base Rent specified in Article II hereof in each month and year
during the term of the Lease, and all costs, expenses, and obligations of every
kind and nature whatsoever relating to the Leased Premises which may arise or
become due during the Term of this Lease, shall be paid by Tenant.

business days and continue such process until Landlord approves Tenant's Design
Drawings (final Design Drawings as approved by Landlord shall be referred to
herein as "Tenant's Plans"). Tenant shall apply for all building permits and
approvals by governmental agencies necessary for the construction of Tenant's
Work in accordance with the Tenant's Plans. The Tenant's general contractor is
required to post the building permit at the job site and a copy of the building
permit must be delivered to Landlord prior to the start of the construction or

provisions hereof not later than the Tenant Completion Date. The Tenant's Work
shall be completed in strict compliance with the Tenant's Plans. Tenant shall
perform no work in the Leased Premises until Tenant's Plans have been approved
by Landlord. Landlord's approvals required hereunder shall be given as soon as

understood that Landlord has contracted with a third party to complete such
reviews and advise Landlord. During the construction of Tenant's Work, Landlord

      EXHIBIT D attached hereto and made a part hereof, which policies shall be
      endorsed to include Landlord and Landlord's respective employees and
      agents and Landlord's mortgagees as additional insured parties and which
      shall provide thirty (30) days prior written notice of any alteration or
      termination of coverage. Tenant shall not permit Tenant's contractors to
      commence any work until all required insurance has been obtained by Tenant
      or Tenant's general contractor as the case may be, and certificates
      evidencing such coverage have been delivered to Landlord.

                  C. REPAIR/RECONSTRUCTION. Repair and/or reconstruction of all
      or any portion of Tenant's Work damaged or destroyed by any casualty

                  D. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS; APPROVAL BY LANDLORD. The Tenant's
      Work and any and all other improvements constructed by Tenant shall comply
      with all applicable federal, state and local laws, ordinances, rules and
      regulations, including without limitation, the Americans with Disabilities
      Act and similar state and local laws. Any approval or consent by Landlord
      of the Tenant's Plans and any or all of Tenant's criteria, systems, plans,
      specifications or drawings shall neither constitute an assumption of
      responsibility or liability by Landlord for any aspect of such criteria,
      systems, plans, specifications or drawings, including, but not limited to,
      their accuracy or efficiency, their failure to comply with applicable laws
      or regulations, building codes and other governmental agencies nor
      obligate Landlord in any manner with respect to Tenant's Work and Tenant
      shall be solely responsible for any deficiency in design or construction
      of all portions of Tenant's Work. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord's
      approval is based on aesthetics only and does not signify compliance with
      any governmental, engineering or safety standards.

                  E. PERMITS. Tenant shall obtain and pay for all necessary
      permits and shall pay all other fees required by public authorities or
      utility companies with respect to Tenant's Work. Tenant shall secure a
      Certificate of Occupancy for the Leased Premises prior to occupying the
      Leased Premises if required by the municipality having jurisdiction over
      the Leased Premises. To the extent Tenant obtains a Temporary Certificate
      of Occupancy, Tenant shall diligently complete the remaining work and
      obtain the Final Certificate of Occupancy as soon as possible thereafter.

                  F. CONSTRUCTION MAINTENANCE. Tenant shall maintain the Leased
      Premises and the Common Areas adjoining the same in a clean and orderly
      condition during construction. Tenant shall promptly remove all unused
      construction materials, equipment shipping containers, packaging, debris
      and waste from the Building and deposit it in receptacles, or otherwise
      remove the same from the Building. Tenant shall contain all construction
      materials, equipment, fixtures, merchandise, shipping containers and
      debris within the Leased Premises

                  G. ENTRY TO THE LEASED PREMISES. At any time and from time to
      time during the performance of Tenant's Work, Landlord or Landlord's
      designee may enter upon the Leased Premises to inspect the work being
      performed by Tenant and take such steps as they may deem necessary or
      desirable to assure the proper performance by Tenant of Tenant's Work
      and/or to protect the Leased Premises. In addition, Tenant's Work shall be
      performed in a thoroughly first-class and workmanlike manner, shall
      incorporate only new or like new materials and shall be in good and usable
      condition at the date of completion.

                  H. LIENS. In the event any lien shall at any time be filed
      against the Leased Premises by reason of work, labor or services performed
      or alleged to have been performed or materials furnished or alleged to
      have been furnished by, for or to Tenant, Tenant shall forthwith cause the
      same to be discharged of record or bonded to the

                                         9
<PAGE>

      satisfaction of Landlord. Tenant shall have a reasonable period of time,
      not more than ninety (90) days after filing of the lien to dispute the
      lien prior to payment and discharge or bonding over. Provided, however,
      any filed lien shall be immediately discharged or bonded over in the event
      an action to foreclose the lien is threatened or commenced. If Tenant
      shall fail to cause such lien forthwith to be so discharged or bonded
      after being notified of the filing thereof, then, in addition to any other
      right or remedy of Landlord, Landlord may, following notice to Tenant,
      discharge the same by paying the amount claimed to be due, and the amount
      so paid by Landlord and all costs and expenses, including reasonable
      attorneys fees incurred by Landlord in procuring the discharge of such
      lien, shall be due and payable by Tenant to Landlord as additional rent on
      the first day of the next following month.

                  I. TENANT ALLOWANCE; FINAL DOCUMENTATION.

                  (a) Upon compliance with this Section, Tenant shall be
      entitled to a Tenant Allowance of $225,460 ("Tenant Allowance").

                  (b) On the Access date, provided that Tenant is not in default
      under this Lease, Landlord has approved Tenant's Plans, and Tenant has
      provided to Landlord Tenant's signed construction contract for Tenant's
      Work and all necessary permits, approvals and insurance certificates, then
      Landlord shall advance to Tenant and Tenant's contractor, jointly, the
      Tenant Allowance to be used solely for Tenant's Work and incorporated in
      the Leased Premises. Within 150 days following construction completion,
      Tenant shall supply to Landlord the following: (i) Original final waivers
      of lien and contractor's affidavits in such form as may be required by
      Landlord, from all parties performing labor or supplying materials in
      connection with the Tenant's Work and sworn statements and long form
      affidavits and final waiver's from Tenant's architect, engineer and
      contractors and any other party with whom Tenant contracted directly for
      labor and materials furnished in or for the Leased Premises, (ii) Copies
      of all warranty documents relating to Tenant's Work and identifying
      Landlord as an intended beneficiary thereof, (iii) A set of mechanical,
      electrical, plumbing and fire protection as-built plans and specifications
      for Tenant's Work prepared and sealed by Tenant's architect, together with

      contractors and copies of all operating manuals for equipment installed as
      part of Tenant's Work, (iv) Properly issued Final Certificate of Occupancy
      evidencing acceptance or approval by appropriate governmental authorities,
      and (v) Such other supporting documentation as Landlord may reasonably
      require. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the Term, so long as Tenant
      is not in default, Tenant shall have the option to apply Tenant's
      Allowance, or any portion thereof, to future improvements, including
      additional parking spaces as provided in Section 4.08 below, or to
      fixtures permanently installed at the Leased Premises. If any portion of
      Tenant's Allowance remains at the expiration or earlier termination of
      this Lease, such sum shall be retained by Landlord.

      4.04  OBLIGATION FOR REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE.

                                        10
<PAGE>

      (a)   Except as provided in (d) below, Tenant covenants during the Term of
this Lease to keep in good order and repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted,
inside and outside, structural and nonstructural, all buildings, structures and
improvements which shall hereafter be constructed on, or be part of, the Leased
Premises, including all interior walls and ceilings, all plumbing, heating,
air-conditioning and any other equipment or facilities installed in or on the
Leased Premises. Tenant agrees from time to time to make repairs and
replacements, as necessary, of such equipment or facilities at least equal to
the original and sufficient for the same services so that at all times such
buildings, structures, equipment and facilities shall be in good order,
condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted. Tenant further
covenants that during the term of this Lease, it will keep the Leased Premises,
and every part thereof, and the buildings and structures thereon, in a clean and
wholesome condition, and that all health, safety, fire and police regulations
shall, at all times and in all respects, be fully complied with by Tenant.

      (b)   Tenant, at its sole expense, shall retain certified contractors to
inspect and maintain all mechanical equipment at the Leased Premises as required
but no less than semi-annually and provide Landlord with copies of such
maintenance contracts and work performed. Tenant further covenants that the
buildings, structures, improvements and mechanical systems at any time existing
upon the Leased Premises shall be kept and maintained by Tenant in a safe and
secure manner and in conformity with any and all requirements of controlling
governmental authority. Landlord or Landlord's designee shall have the right to
enter and inspect the Leased Premises, from time to time, upon reasonable
notice, except in the case of an emergency, provided, however, Landlord's
inspections shall not unreasonably interfere with Tenant's use of the Premises.

      (c)   In the event Tenant fails to make any of the repairs which it is
obligated to make under the provisions of this Lease immediately if required,
and in all other cases within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice
from Landlord specifying such repairs, or if the repairs are of such character
as to require more than thirty (30) days to correct and Tenant shall fail to use
reasonable diligence in making such repairs after receiving such notice,
Landlord shall be entitled but not obligated to enter upon the Leased Premises
and to make or cause the same to be made, and, after notice to Tenant that the
same has been done and the cost thereof, to add the cost of such repairs to the
next installment of rent, and Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord such amounts plus
interests as hereinafter provided, at the due date of the rent installment next
becoming due. At the time of the expiration of the tenancy created herein,
Tenant shall surrender the Leased Premises in a good condition, reasonable wear
and tear and loss by fire or other casualty covered by insurance excepted
(provided insurance proceeds therefor are received by the Landlord).

      (d)   Landlord shall be responsible for structural or capital repairs or
replacements (as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principals) required to keep the roof, outer walls, structural elements and
foundation, HVAC system and electrical transformers of the Leased Premises in
good order, condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted, and
excepting repairs and replacements resulting from Tenant's Work or the act or
negligence of

                                       11
<PAGE>

Tenant or its contractors, agents or employees ("Landlord's Responsibility").
The cost of any structural or capital repairs or replacements made to the Leased
Premises by Landlord during the Term as a result of Landlord's Responsibility
shall be amortized over such periods as determined in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, together with interest on the unamortized
balance at the rate of two percent (2%) in excess of the then current "prime
rate" of Comerica Bank or such higher rate as may have been paid by Landlord on
funds borrowed for the purpose of constructing such capital improvements
provided said interest shall not exceed the maximum legal rate available, and
shall be paid by Tenant monthly as additional Rent.

      4.05  EXPANSION OF BUILDING the current design of the building allows for
the construction of an additional 15,000 to 20,000 square feet ("Expansion"). In
the event during the Term, and so long as Tenant is not in default, Tenant
desires to construct such Expansion, Tenant shall have the opportunity to
negotiate with Landlord for the purchase of the Leased Premises. Provided,
however, Landlord is under no obligation to sell the Leased Premises to Tenant
in the event Landlord and Tenant are unable to reach an agreement on the terms
for sale and purchase of the Leased Premises. In the event of such purchase the
purchase price shall be based on fair market value method appraisals, but in no
event less than $6.5 million. In the event that Landlord and Tenant consummate
the purchase of the Leased Premises, this Lease shall terminate upon transfer of
title of the Leased Premises to Tenant. In the event that Landlord and Tenant
fail to agree upon the terms of a sale, this Lease shall continue in full force
and effect until its expiration or earlier termination and Tenant shall not
construct the Expansion of the building on the Leased Premises.

      In the event Tenant requests and Landlord, at its sole option, agrees to
assume the responsibility and expense of construction of the Expansion, then
Landlord and Tenant shall amend this Lease, in writing, which amendment shall
contain the following provisions: (a) Base Rent shall include, in addition to
that provided in Section 2.01, Rent on the Expansion square footage equivalent
to market rent for similar build to suit projects and (b) the Lease Term for the
Leased Premises plus the Expansion shall expire ten (10) years from the date the
certificate of occupancy is issued for the Expansion. In the event that such
certificate of occupancy is issued after the expiration of the Initial Term or
the Renewal Term, as the case may be, this Lease shall be deemed to have been
extended automatically under the terms hereof.

      4.06  REMODELING AND IMPROVEMENTS AFTER INITIAL CONSTRUCTION So long as
Tenant is not in default, after the Rent Commencement Date and during the Term,
Tenant shall have the right, upon written notice to Landlord, to remodel or make
improvements to the Leased Premises, at Tenant's expense, provided such
remodeling or improvement does not affect the mechanical systems, the electrical
systems or the structure of the building ("Non-Structural Work") and which do
not exceed $20,000.00. So long as Tenant is not in default, Tenant shall have
the right, upon written notice to Landlord and receipt of Landlord's written
consent, to perform Non-Structural Work in excess of $20,000.00; provided,
however, Landlord may require Tenant to remove all such Non-Structural Work in
excess of $20,000.00 upon expiration of the Lease and to restore the Leased
Premises to the condition existing prior to the Non-Structural Work. Tenant
shall not make any changes to mechanical systems, the electric system or the

                                       12
<PAGE>

structure of the building on the Leased Premises without Landlord's prior
written consent. Tenant shall, in all instances, provide architectural drawings,
plans and specifications for any and all improvements made by Tenant to the
Leased Premises. Landlord agrees to review and approve or deny Tenant's request
for modifications to the Leased Premises within ten (10) business days of
receipt by Landlord of Tenant's request along with Tenant's proposed plans and
specifications for such work. All construction shall comply with all laws and
ordinances relating thereto and shall be performed in a good and workmanlike
manner. In the event any lien shall at any time be filed against the Leased
Premises by reason of work, labor or services performed or alleged to have been
performed or materials furnished or alleged to have been furnished by, for or to
Tenant, Tenant shall forthwith cause the same to be discharged of record or
bonded to the satisfaction of Landlord. If Tenant shall fail to cause such lien
forthwith to be so discharged or bonded after being notified of the filing
thereof, then, in addition to any other right or remedy of Landlord, Landlord
may, following notice to Tenant, discharge the same by paying the amount claimed
to be due, and the amount so paid by Landlord and all costs and expenses,
including reasonable attorneys fees incurred by Landlord in procuring the
discharge of such lien, shall be due and payable by Tenant to Landlord as
additional Rent on the first day of the next following month.

      4.07 REMOVAL BY TENANT. All improvements to the Leased Premises made by
Tenant shall become the property of Landlord upon installation thereof, and
shall then be considered as part of the Leased Premises except that any signs,
trade fixtures (including Tenant's installed cooling tower and pump), trade
equipment, appliances, furniture and other personal property of any nature
installed in the Leased Premises at any time by Tenant and any replacement
thereof by Tenant shall not become a part of the Leased Premises but shall
retain their status as personality and shall remain the property of Tenant and
portions thereof may be removed from the Leased Premises at any time and from
time to time by Tenant during the term of this Lease, providing the same shall
be immediately replaced by comparable property unless the unreplaced removal of
reasonable portions thereof does not hinder or interfere with the continuity of
the conduct of the Tenant's business in the Leased Premises during the Term, and
providing Tenant repairs any, damage to the Leased Premises by any such removal.
Landlord shall be entitled to take all depreciation on the building and real
estate fixtures and improvements, allowable, under the income tax laws; and, the
Tenant shall likewise be entitled to take all investment tax credit for personal
property purchased for the building on the Leased Premises, allowable under the
income tax laws, corresponding to its expenditures therefor. Landlord shall have
the option of requiring Tenant to remove any improvement or fixture (except
Tenant Wiring described in Section 4.01 above) at the end of the Term and in
such event Tenant shall restore the Leased Premises to the condition existing
prior to installation, unless otherwise agreed by Landlord at the time of
consent for installation of said improvements.

      4.08 PARKING. The Leased Premises contains 155 parking spaces. Subject to
issuance of appropriate permits and Landlord's written approval, which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, of plans for installation of
additional parking spaces, Tenant shall have the right, during the Term, if
Tenant is not in default, at Tenant's own expense, to

                                       13

<PAGE>

construct additional parking spaces in accordance with the plans approved by
Landlord and all applicable laws and ordinances.

                                    ARTICLE V
                         INSURANCE AND INDEMNIFICATION

      Commencing on the Rent Commencement Date and during the entire Lease Term,
Tenant shall obtain the following insurance with respect to the Leased Premises.

      5.01 LIABILITY INSURANCE. Tenant shall, during the Term, keep in full
force and effect policies of commercial general liability, insurance (including
premises, operation, bodily injury, personal injury, death, independent
contractors, products and completed operations, broad form contractual liability
and broad form property damage coverage), in an amount of One Million Dollars
($1,000,000.00), per occurrence and excess liability (umbrella) with limits of
not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00), per occurrence (exclusive of
defense costs), against all claims, demands or actions with respect to damage,
injury or death made by or on behalf of any person or entity, arising from or
relating to the conduct and operation of Tenant's business in, on or about the
Leased Premises (which shall include Tenant's signs, if any), or arising from or
related to any act or omission of Tenant or of Tenant's principals, officers,
agents, contractors, servants, employees, licensees and invitees. Whenever, in
commercially reasonable judgment, good business practice and changing conditions
indicate a need for additional amounts or different types of insurance coverage,
Tenant shall, within sixty (60) days after Landlord's request, obtain such
insurance coverage, at Tenant's sole cost and expense.

      5.02 PROPERTY INSURANCE. Tenant shall keep the buildings and all other
improvements located on the Leased Premises insured against loss or damage by
fire, windstorm, hail, explosion, and smoke damage and such other risks as are
from time to time covered under "extended coverage" endorsements and special
extended coverage endorsements commonly known as "all risks" endorsements in an
amount equal to the full replacement cost thereof (exclusive of the cost of
excavation, foundations and footings) without co-insurance penalty, containing a
deductible provision not in excess of $5,000.00, with a change of conditions
provision, and flood insurance if the Leased Premises are in a special flood
hazard area, so designated pursuant to the Flood Disaster Protection Act of
1973, as amended, and requiring such insurance if a regulated lender were to
make a loan secured thereby.

      5.03 WORKER'S COMPENSATION. Commencing on the Rent Commencement Date,
Tenant shall obtain and maintain policies of workers' compensation and
employers' liability insurance, which shall provide for statutory workers'
compensation benefits and employers' liability limits of not less than that
required by law.

      5.04 PERSONAL PROPERTY. Commencing on the Rent Commencement Date, Tenant
shall obtain and maintain insurance protecting and indemnifying Tenant against
any and all damage to or loss of any personal property, fixtures, leasehold
improvements, alterations, decorations, installations, repairs, additions,
replacements or other physical changes in or about

                                       14

<PAGE>

the Leased Premises, including but not limited to the Tenant Improvements, and
all claims and liabilities relating thereto, for their full replacement value
without deduction or depreciation. In addition, if Tenant shall install or
maintain one or more pressure vessels to serve Tenant's operations on the Leased
Premises, Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, obtain, maintain and
keep in full force and effect appropriate boiler or other insurance coverage
therefore in an amount not less than One Million and No/100 Dollars
($1,000,000.00) (it being understood and agreed, however, that the foregoing
shall not be deemed a consent by Landlord to the installation and/or maintenance
of any such pressure vessels in the Leased Premises, which installation and/or
maintenance shall at all times be subject to the prior written consent of
Landlord). All insurance policies required pursuant to this Section 5.04 shall
be written on a so-called "all risk" form and shall be carried in sufficient
amount so as to avoid the imposition of any co-insurance penalty in the event of
a loss. Such insurance shall provide the broadest coverage then available,
including coverage for loss of profits or business income or reimbursement for
extra expense incurred as the result of damage or destruction to all or a part
of the Leased Premises.

      5.05 BUSINESS INTERRUPTION INSURANCE. Tenant shall provide business
interruption insurance during the Term.

      5.07 POLICIES. Such insurance shall be carried with a financially
responsible insurance company or companies reasonably satisfactory to Landlord
(if the insurer A.M. Best Rating is A minus or better is will be satisfactory),
and may be carried under a policy or policies covering other property owned or
controlled by Tenant, provided that such policy or policies allocate to the
property required to be insured by this Article an amount not less than the
amount of insurance required to be carried by Tenant with respect thereto
pursuant to this Article. Tenant shall furnish to Landlord such evidence as
Landlord may require that the insurance referred to in this Article is in full
force and effect and that the premiums therefor have been paid, and all rental
policies or certificates of insurance shall be delivered to Landlord not less
than thirty (30) days prior to the date of expiration of the then existing
policy. Tenant agrees that such policies shall contain a provision that the same
may not be cancelled without at least thirty (30) days prior written notice
being given by the insurer to Landlord, and the holder of any mortgages on the
Leased Premises. It is agreed that such insurance shall be carried for the
mutual benefit and protection of Landlord, Tenant, and the holder of any
mortgages on the Leased Premises as their interests may appear. All monies
collected from such insurance shall be applied on account of the obligation of
Tenant to repair and/or rebuild the improvements on the Leased Premises pursuant
to this Lease. The parties hereto agree that the policy or policies providing
the insurance which Tenant is obligated to maintain under the terms of this
Article may be made payable to the holder of any mortgages on the fee interest
of the Leased Premises as its interests may appear under a standard mortgagee
endorsement, provided such mortgagee(s) agrees that it will in the event of loss
make the proceeds of such insurance available to Tenant during the course of
reconstruction and repair upon presentation of material and labor bills for work
completed and such other reasonable requirements of such mortgagee(s) so that
such monies may be used by Tenant to pay for the costs of such repair and
restoration work. If at any time there is no such mortgage, the insurance
proceeds shall be escrowed with a title insurance company or another

                                       15

<PAGE>

party acceptable to the Landlord and the Tenant, and disbursed to pay for the
costs of such repair and restoration work.

      5.07 FAILURE TO PAY PREMIUMS. In case Tenant shall at any time fail,
neglect or refuse to proceed to insure the Leased Premises as required herein
and to keep the same insured as provided herein, Landlord may, at its election,
but has no obligation to, procure or renew such insurance, and any amounts paid
therefor by Landlord shall be due at the next rent day after any such payment
with interest as hereinafter provided from the date of payment thereof.

      5.08 INSURANCE REVIEW. At the request of the Landlord, Tenant shall cause
its insurance carrier to review the fire and extended coverage insurance carried
by Tenant on the Leased Premises so that such insurance is maintained in the
amount of the then full replacement value of the buildings and improvements upon
said Leased Premises. A copy of such report shall be delivered to Landlord. Upon
failure of Tenant to have such review performed on an annual basis and failure
to cure such default thirty (30) days after written notice to Tenant of such
default, Landlord shall have the right to cause its own insurance carrier to
make such review, at Tenant's expense, and Tenant agrees to be bound thereby.

      5.09 COVENANT TO HOLD HARMLESS. Tenant covenants to indemnify and hold
harmless Landlord (except for the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
Landlord or Landlord's contractors, employees and agents) from and against all
claims and all costs, expenses and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys'
fees), incurred in connection with such claims, including any action or
proceeding brought thereon, arising from or as a result of: (i) any accident,
injury, loss or damage whatsoever caused to any person or to the property of any
person as shall occur on the Leased Premises during the term of this Lease, or
(ii) any act or omission whatsoever or negligence of Tenant or of any subtenant,
concessionaire, or licensee of Tenant or of the agents, contractors, servants or
employees of Tenant or of any such subtenant, concessionaire, or licensee of
Tenant.

      5.10 MUTUAL WAIVER OF SUBROGATION RIGHTS. Landlord and Tenant and all
parties claiming under them mutually release and discharge each other from all
claims and liabilities arising from or caused by any casualty or hazard covered
or required hereunder to be covered in whole or in part by insurance on the
Leased Premises or in connection with property on or activities conducted on the
Leased Premises, and waive any right of subrogation which might otherwise exist
in or accrue to any person on account thereof; provided that such release shall
not operate in any case where the effect is to invalidate or increase the cost
of such insurance coverage if the party whose insurance has been invalidated or
the cost increased shall have given the other party written notice thereof;
provided, that in the case of increased cost, the other party shall have the
right, within thirty (30) days following written notice, to pay such increased
cost, thereby keeping such release and waiver in full force and effect.

                                   ARTICLE VI
                                 UTILITY CHARGES

                                       16

<PAGE>

      6.01 UTILITY CHARGES. As of the Access Date, Tenant agrees to pay all
charges for any and all utilities used by Tenant or charged to the Leased
Premises during the Term of this Lease, including, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, water, gas, electricity, sewerage, power, and
telecommunications and all utility accounts shall be placed in Tenant's name as
of such date. Tenant shall provide Landlord with evidence of payment of
utilities, upon Landlord's request.

                                   ARTICLE VII
                             ASSIGNMENT OR TRANSFER

      7.01 ASSIGNMENT BY TENANT RESTRICTION. Tenant shall have the right upon
written notice to Landlord, to assign or sublease all or any part of the Leased
Premises to any parent, subsidiary, or other entity related to Tenant's or to
any entity into which Tenant is merged. Any other transfer, sublease or
sublicense of this Lease or the Leased Premises shall require Landlord's prior
written consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed longer than
ten (10) business days from the date of receipt of Tenant's written request. In
the event of any such transfer, Tenant shall not be relieved from the
obligations and liabilities of Tenant under this Lease unless Landlord shall
agree in writing to such release. Tenant shall not directly or indirectly sell,
assign, sublet, transfer, encumber, or hypothecate, all or any part of the
Leased Premises at any time voluntarily or by operation of law to any
third-party entity, not identified in the first sentence of this Section 7.01,
without Landlord's prior written consent, which consent shall be granted or
withheld in writing within ten days of written notice from Tenant. Any transfer
under this Section 7.01. shall be conditioned upon the replacement tenant having
credit worthiness equal to or greater than Tenant's. In the event that Tenant
collects Rent from a transferee under this Section 7.01 which exceeds the Base
Rent due to Landlord hereunder, Tenant shall promptly pay to Landlord, as
additional Rent, fifty percent (50%) of the difference between the Base Rent due
hereunder and the Rent due to Tenant under its assignment, sublease, license or
other transfer, net of any real estate commission or tenant improvements paid by
Tenant for such assignment, sublease, license or transfer, amortized over the
entire term.

      7.02 SALE OR TRANSFER OF LEASED PREMISES BY LANDLORD. Upon any sale or
transfer, including any transfer by operation of law of the Leased Premises by
the Landlord, the Landlord shall be relieved from all subsequent obligations and
liabilities under this Lease.

                                  ARTICLE VIII
                 OFFSET STATEMENT, ATTORNMENT AND SUBORDINATION

      8.01 ESTOPPEL STATEMENT. Tenant agrees, within ten (10) business days
after request therefor by Landlord, to execute and deliver to Landlord and/or to
any Mortgagee of Landlord, and/or possible purchaser of the Leased Premises from
the Landlord, a statement, in writing, certifying (i) that this Lease is in full
force and effect, (ii) the date of commencement of the term of this Lease, (iii)
that rent is paid currently without any offset or defense thereto, (iv) the
amount of rent, if any, paid in advance, (v) that there are no uncured defaults
by Landlord or

                                       17

<PAGE>

stating those claimed by Tenant, and (vi) such other matters regarding this
Lease as may be reasonably requested, provided that, in fact, such facts are
accurate and ascertainable.

      8.02 ATTORNMENT. Tenant shall, in the event any proceedings are brought
for the foreclosure of or in the event of exercise of the power of sale under
any mortgage made by Landlord covering the Leased Premises, attorn to the
purchaser upon any such foreclosure or sale and recognize such purchaser as the
Landlord under this Lease, subject to all terms and provisions of this Lease.

      8.03 SUBORDINATION AND NON-DISTURBANCE. Tenant agrees that this Lease
shall, at the request of the Landlord, be subordinate to any mortgages that may
hereafter be placed upon said Leased Premises and to any and all advances to be
made thereunder, and to the interest thereon, and all renewals, replacements and
extensions thereof, provided the mortgagee named in said mortgages shall agree
to recognize the Lease of Tenant in the event of foreclosure if Tenant is not in
default. Tenant also agrees that any mortgagee may elect to have this Lease a
prior lien to its mortgage, and in the event of such election and upon
notification by such mortgagee to Tenant to that effect, this Lease shall be
deemed prior in lien to the said mortgage, whether this Lease is dated prior to
or subsequent to the date of said mortgage. Tenant agrees that, upon the request
of Landlord or any mortgagee, Tenant shall execute whatever instruments may be
reasonably required to carry out the intent of this Section.

      Tenant's obligation to subordinate this Lease to any future mortgage or
other interest shall be conditioned upon Tenant's receipt from such party of a
commercially reasonably subordination and non-disturbance agreement
substantially to the effect that no steps or proceedings taken by reason of
Landlord's default under such mortgage or encumbrance shall terminate this Lease
nor shall Tenant be named a defendant in any proceeding for foreclosure of such
mortgage or be disturbed by virtue of such steps or proceedings as long as there
shall be no default by Tenant under the provisions of this Lease. Tenant shall
attorn to such mortgagee or holder of such encumbrance as successor Landlord
under this Lease and agrees to execute an Attornment instrument in a
commercially reasonable form.

      8.04 REMEDIES. Failure of the Tenant to execute any statement or
instruments necessary or desirable to effectuate the foregoing provisions of
this Article, within ten (10) business days of Landlord's request, shall
constitute a breach of this Lease and the Landlord shall have the right by not
less than ten (10) business days prior written notice to Tenant to declare this
Lease terminated and the term ended. Further, in the event Tenant does not
execute any such statement or instrument within such ten (10) business day
period, then Tenant shall be deemed to have irrevocably appointed Landlord as
attorney-in-fact for the Tenant with full power and authority to execute and
deliver in the name of the Tenant any such statement or instrument.

                                   ARTICLE IX
                         DESTRUCTION OF LEASED PREMISES

                                       18
<PAGE>

      9.01 OBLIGATION TO REBUILD. If the buildings, improvements, fixtures,
equipment or property on the Leased Premises shall be damaged or destroyed, in
whole or in part, by fire or any other casualty during the term hereof, Tenant
agrees to restore, repair, replace and rebuild the same as nearly as possible to
the condition the same were in immediately prior to such damage or destruction.
Such restoration, repairs, replacements or rebuilding shall be commenced within
sixty (60) days from the date of settlement within the insurance covenants but
in no event later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of
destruction, and prosecuted with reasonable diligence; or if the improvements
are not economically tenantable because of such destruction, and/or in the event
more than fifty percent (50%) of the building area upon the Leased Premises is
damaged or destroyed, during the last year of the lease term, Tenant shall have
the right to terminate this Lease by written notice to the Landlord given within
sixty (60) days after such damage or destruction, to be effective sixty (60)
days from the date of receipt of such notice. In the event of such termination
all such insurance proceeds payable by virtue of such damage or destruction to
the building improvements and fixtures (but not furniture, furnishings,
equipment or goods of the Tenant) shall be paid to Landlord. If at any time
during the term hereof the Leased Premises are damaged or destroyed and Tenant
is finally precluded by the public authorities from rebuilding, restoring or
repairing the Leased Premises, then this Lease shall automatically terminate,
and all the insurance proceeds payable by virtue of such damage or destruction
to the building improvements and fixtures (but not furniture, furnishings,
equipment or goods of the Tenant) shall be paid to Landlord.

                                    ARTICLE X
                                  CONDEMNATION

      10.01 CONDEMNATION. If the whole of the Leased Premises shall be taken
under the power of eminent domain, then the term of this Lease shall cease as of
the day possession shall be taken by the condemning authorities, and the rent
shall be paid up to that date, and any unearned rent paid in advance shall be
adjusted to the date of taking. If any material portion of any buildings
situated on the Leased Premises (or a material portion of the vehicular parking)
but less than the whole shall be so taken, thereby materially interfering with
the conduct of Tenant's business, then Tenant shall have the right either to
terminate this Lease or to continue in possession of the remainder of the Leased
Premises upon notice in writing to Landlord of Tenant's intention within ten
(10) business days after such taking. In the event Tenant elects to remain in
possession, all of the terms herein provided shall continue in effect, except
that the rent shall be equitably reduced as of the date of taking. In the event
of a partial or complete taking or appropriation, whether or not this Lease be
terminated as above provided, the Landlord and the Tenant may, if permissible by
applicable law, prosecute at their option their respective claims against the
public or private body designated as the taking authority on account of any
taking or appropriation of the Leased Premises. In the event of a partial taking
of the Leased Premises which does not result in the termination of this Lease,
Tenant shall make all repairs to the

                                       19

<PAGE>

building and improvements on the Leased Premises affected by such taking to the
extent necessary to restore the same to a complete architectural unit up to the
amount of the condemnation proceeds. All damages awarded for such taking to both
the Landlord and the Tenant shall be held for the purpose of restoration of the
Leased Premises, and any excess remaining after the restoration shall be the
sole property of the party having obtained such award. In the event of
termination pursuant to this Paragraph 10.01, the Security Deposit shall be
returned to Tenant in accordance with Paragraph 1.04.

                                   ARTICLE XI
                              DEFAULT OF THE TENANT

      11.01 DEFAULT AND RE-ENTRY. Subject to Tenant's right to cure under
Paragraph 11.03, if Tenant fails to pay Rent when due or if Tenant fails to
perform any other obligation under the Lease or if Tenant makes an assignment
for the benefit of creditors or a receiver is appointed for Tenant or its
property or if any proceedings are instituted by or against Tenant for
bankruptcy (including reorganization) or if Tenant ceases to occupy or operate
at the Leased Premises, the Tenant shall be in default and Landlord shall be
entitled to terminate the Lease and shall be entitled to immediate possession of
the Leased Premises. Landlord may take its election to terminate known to Tenant
by delivery of a Notice of Termination. Such termination shall be immediately
effective and Landlord shall be entitled to commence an action in summary
proceedings to recover possession of the Leased Premises. No receipt of money by
Landlord from Tenant after the termination of this Lease shall reinstate,
continue or extend the Term, nor affect or waive any notice given by Landlord to
the Tenant prior to such receipt of money.

      Should Landlord at any time terminate this Lease, in addition to any
other remedies, Landlord may recover from Tenant all damages Landlord may incur
by reason of any default, including the cost of recovering the Leased Premises,
reasonable attorney fees and damages equal to lost rent. In the event of
termination of this Lease as a result of Tenant's default, Landlord shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to relet the Premises by actively offering the
Premises for lease on commercially reasonably terms.

      If the event of default is for the nonpayment of rent, Landlord may, as an
alternative to terminating the Lease, serve a written demand for possession or
payment. Unless paid in accordance with the demand for possession or payment,
Landlord shall be entitled to possession of the Leased Premises and Tenant shall
have no further right to possession under the Lease. Tenant shall remain liable
to Landlord for the payment of all Rents and other charges, which Tenant has
agreed to pay under this Lease throughout the remainder of the Lease term.

      Landlord's rights, remedies and benefits provided by this Lease shall be
cumulative and shall not be exclusive of any other rights, remedies and benefits
allowed by law.

      11.02 RIGHT TO RELET. Should Landlord elect not to terminate this Lease,
but to re-enter, as herein provided, or should it take possession of the Leased
Premises as a result of a default on Tenant's part, Landlord may make such
repairs and renovations as may be necessary in order to

                                       20

<PAGE>

operate or relet the Leased Premises and may operate or relet the Leased
Premises or any part thereof for such term or terms (which may be 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 may deem advisable. Upon each such
reletting, all rentals and other sums received by Landlord from such reletting
shall be applied, first, to the payment of any indebtedness other than Rent due
hereunder from Tenant to Landlord; second, to the payment of any costs and
expenses of such reletting, including reasonable brokerage fees and attorneys
fees, and costs of repairs and renovations; third, to the payment of Rent and
other charges due and unpaid hereunder; and the residue, if any, shall be held
by Landlord and applied in payment of future Rent as the same may become due and
payable hereunder. If such rentals and other sums received from such reletting
during any month be less than that to be paid during that month by Tenant
hereunder including Rent, Tenant shall pay such deficiency to Landlord. Such
deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly. No such re-entry or taking
possession of the Leased Premises by Landlord shall be construed as an election
on its part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention is
given to Tenant or unless the termination thereof is decreed by a court of
competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination,
Landlord may at any time hereafter elect to terminate this Lease for such
previous breach.

      11.03 TENANT'S CURE PERIOD BEFORE DEFAULT AND LANDLORD'S REMEDIES.
Landlord agrees that before Tenant shall be considered to be in default under
the terms of this Lease and before Landlord shall be entitled to exercise any
remedies set forth in this Lease, Tenant shall be allowed the following time
periods to cure any failure to comply with the Lease terms:

      (a) For failure to pay Rent when due, five (5) days after receipt of
written notice of such failure from Landlord; provided, however, such cure
period shall be available to Tenant only twice within any twenty-four (24) month
period, any failure to make timely payments more than twice shall be deemed an
immediate default.

      (b) For any failure to comply with Lease terms other than nonpayment of
rent thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice of such failure from
Landlord (except that if such failure cannot be cured within said thirty (30)
day period, this period shall be extended for a reasonable additional time not
to exceed forty-five (45) days, provided that Tenant commences to cure such
failure within thirty (30) day period and proceeds diligently thereafter to
effect such cure).

      11.04 LATE CHARGE. Tenant shall pay to Landlord a charge equal to four
percent (4%) per annum in excess of the prime rate of interest of Comerica Bank,
of any required payment under this Lease which is not paid to the Landlord
within fifteen (15) days after the same becomes due.

      11.05 ACCELERATION OF RENT. In addition to any other remedies available to
Landlord hereunder or at law or equity, Landlord shall, upon Tenant's default,
have the right to declare all installments of Rent and additional rent payable
hereunder for the remainder of the Term of this Lease to be immediately due and
payable, whereupon the same shall become immediately due and paid by Tenant to
Landlord.

                                QUIET ENJOYMENT

      12.01 LANDLORD'S COVENANT; QUIET ENJOYMENT. Landlord covenants that it
owns the Leased Premises, subject to easements, restrictions and encumbrances of
record, including those items set forth on EXHIBIT A, that it has the full power
and authority to enter into this Lease, and that upon payment by Tenant of the
Rents herein provided, and upon the observance and performance of all of the
covenants, terms and conditions on Tenant's part to be observed and performed,
Tenant shall peaceably and quietly hold and enjoy the Leased Premises for the
Term without hindrance or interruption by Landlord or any other person, subject,
nevertheless, to the terms and conditions of this Lease. The Landlord covenants
and agrees that so long as the Tenant shall perform its obligations under this
Lease, the Tenant shall have quiet enjoyment of the Leased Premises and all
appurtenances thereto. Landlord's right to enter upon the Leased Premises to
repair or to exercise or perform any other right or obligation under the terms
of this Lease shall not be deemed a violation of the Tenant's right of Quiet
Enjoyment as set forth herein.

                                  ARTICLE XIII
                            ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE

      13.01 HAZARDOUS MATERIALS.

            A. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS DEFINED. As used herein, the term "Hazardous
      Materials" shall mean (i) any waste, material or substance (whether in the
      form of a liquid, a solid, or a gas and whether or not air-borne), which
      is or is deemed to be a pollutant or a contaminant, or which is or is
      deemed to be hazardous, toxic, ignitable, reactive, corrosive, dangerous,
      harmful or injurious, or which presents a risk, to public health or to the
      environment, or which is or may become regulated by or under the authority
      of any applicable local, state or federal laws, judgments, ordinances,
      orders, rules, regulations, codes or other governmental restrictions,
      guidelines or requirements, any amendments or successor(s) thereto,
      replacements thereof or publications promulgated pursuant thereto
      (collectively "Environmental Laws, and individually, "Environmental Law");
      (ii) petroleum, including crude oil or any fraction thereof; (iii) ACM;
      (iv) any polychlorinated biphenyl; (v) any radioactive material; and (vi)
      urea formaldehyde. In addition to the foregoing, the term "Environmental
      Laws" shall be deemed to include, without limitation, local, state and
      federal laws, judgments, ordinances, orders, rules, regulations, codes and
      other governmental restrictions, guidelines and requirements, any
      amendments and successors thereto, replacements thereof and publications
      promulgated pursuant thereto, which deal with or otherwise in any manner
      relate to, environmental matters of any kind.

            B. LANDLORD'S REPRESENTATIONS. Landlord represents and warrants that
      (i) to the best knowledge of Landlord, there is no violation of nor any
      existing investigation by any governmental authority under any
      Environmental Law or other Requirement, and (ii) to

                                       22
<PAGE>
the best knowledge of Landlord, any handling, storage, treatment or use of
Hazardous Materials that has occurred within the Leased Premises to date has
been in compliance with all applicable Environmental. Laws and all judicial and
administrative decisions pertaining thereto.

      C.    USE OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. Tenant agrees that during the Term, no
use, presence, disposal, storage, generation, leakage, treatment, manufacture,
import, handling, processing, release, or threatened release of Hazardous
Materials shall occur on, from or under the Leased Premises except to the extent
that, and in accordance with such conditions as, Landlord may have previously
approved in writing. The use, presence, disposal, storage, generation, leakage,
treatment, manufacture, import, handling, processing, release or threatened
release of Hazardous Materials is sometimes hereinafter individually or
collectively referred to as "Hazardous Use." It is further agreed that Tenant
shall be entitled to use and store only those Hazardous Materials which are
necessary for Tenant's business, provided that such usage and storage is in full
compliance with Environmental Laws, and all judicial and administrative
decisions pertaining thereto. Tenant shall not be entitled to install any tanks
under, on or about the Leased Premises for the storage of Hazardous Materials
without the express written consent of Landlord, which may be given or withheld
in Landlord's sole arbitrary judgment. For the purposes of this Section 19.3,
the term Hazardous Use shall include Hazardous Use(s) on, from or under the
Leased Premises by Tenant and its agents or contractors, whether known or
unknown to Tenant, and occurring and/or arising during the Term.

      D.    RELEASE OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS: NOTIFICATION AND CLEANUP. If at any
time during the Term Tenant knows or believes that any release of any Hazardous
Materials has come or will come to be located upon, about or beneath the Leased
Premises, then Tenant shall immediately, either prior to the release or
following the discovery thereof by Tenant, give verbal and follow-up written
notice of that condition to Landlord. Tenant covenants to investigate, clean up
and otherwise remediate any release of Hazardous Materials occurring or arising
after the execution of this Lease and/or after Tenant's possession of the Leased
Premises caused by Tenant or its agents or contractors ("Release") at Tenant's
cost and expense; such investigation, clean-up and remediation shall be
performed only after Tenant has obtained Landlord's written consent, which shall
not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that Tenant shall be entitled
to respond immediately to an emergency without first obtaining Landlord's
written consent. All clean-up and remediation shall be done in compliance with
Environmental Laws and to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, whether or not such work is prompted by the
foregoing notice from Tenant or is undertaken by Landlord for any other reason
whatsoever, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, in Landlord's
sole and absolute discretion, exercisable by written notice to Tenant at any
time, to undertake within or outside the Leased Premises all or any portion of
any investigation, clean-up or remediation with respect to Hazardous Materials
(or, once having undertaken any of such work, to cease same, in which case
Tenant shall perform

                                        23
<PAGE>

      the work with respect to a Release or Hazardous Use). All such work with
      respect to a Release or Hazardous Use shall be at Tenant's cost and
      expense, which shall be paid by Tenant as additional rent within ten (10)
      days after receipt of written request therefor by Landlord (and which
      Landlord may require to be paid prior to commencement of any work by
      Landlord). No such work by Landlord shall create any liability on the part
      of Landlord to Tenant or any other party in connection with such Hazardous
      Materials or constitute an admission by Landlord of any responsibility
      with respect to such Hazardous Materials. It is the express intention of
      the parties hereto that Tenant shall be liable under this Section 13.01 D
      for any and all conditions covered hereby which were caused or created by
      Tenant or its agents or contractors) occurring or arising after the
      execution of this Lease and/or after Tenant's possession of the Leased
      Premises. Tenant shall not enter into any settlement agreement, consent
      decree or other compromise with respect to any claims relating to any
      Hazardous Materials in any way connected to the Leased Premises without
      first (i) notifying Landlord of Tenant's intention to do so and affording
      Landlord the opportunity to participate in any such proceedings, and (ii)
      obtaining Landlord's written consent.

      13.2  INDEMNITY. Tenant shall indemnify, hold harmless, and, at Landlord's
option (with such attorneys as Landlord may approve in advance and in writing),
defend Landlord and Landlord's officers, directors, shareholders, trustees,
partners, employees, contractors, agents and mortgagees or other lien holders,
from and against any and all claims, demands, expenses, actions, judgments,
damages (whether consequential, direct or indirect, known or unknown, foreseen
or unforeseen), penalties, fines, liabilities, losses of every kind and nature
(including, without limitation, property damage, diminution in value of
Landlord's interest in the Leased Premises, damages for the loss or restriction
on use of any space or amenity within the Leased Premises, sums paid in
settlement of claims and any costs and expenses associated with injury, illness
or death to or of any person), suits, administrative proceedings, costs and
fees, including, but not limited to, attorneys' and consultants' fees and
expenses, and the costs of cleanup, remediation, removal and restoration (all of
the foregoing being hereinafter sometimes collectively referred to as "Losses"),
arising from or related to any violation or alleged violation of any
Environmental Laws, any breach of the provisions of this Article, or any
Hazardous Use on, about or from the Leased Premises caused by the acts or
omissions of Tenant after the Execution Date of this Lease. Tenant warrants that
it is leasing the Leased Premises "as-is, where-is," that it has thoroughly
inspected the Leased Premises prior to execution of this Lease, and that it is
accepting the Leased Premises in its present condition without recourse against
Landlord.

      13.3  LIMITATIONS. Notwithstanding any language in 13.2 and 13.2 above,
Tenant will not be liable to clean up any release occurring during the term, if
not caused by Tenant or its agents. Therefore, Tenant shall not be responsible
for releases of Hazardous Use or Hazardous Materials existing before Landlord
acquired the property as well as releases from neighboring properties.

thing.

      14.03  ATTORNEY'S FEES. In case suit shall be brought because of the
breach of any covenants herein contained on the part of either party to be kept
or performed, the unsuccessful party shall reimburse the party ultimately
prevailing in such case for such party's reasonable attorney's fees incurred in
connection with such proceedings.

      14.04  WAIVER. One or more waivers of any covenant or condition by
Landlord shall not be construed as a waiver of a subsequent breach of the same
covenant or condition, and the consent or approval by Landlord to or of any act
by Tenant requiring Landlord's consent or approval shall in no event constitute
approval to or of any subsequent similar act by Tenant. No breach of a covenant
or condition of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived by Landlord
unless such waiver is in writing signed by Landlord. It is expressly agreed that
time shall be of the essence of this Agreement.

      14.05  AMENDMENTS. No alteration, amendment, change or addition to this
Lease shall be binding upon Landlord or Tenant unless reduced to writing and
signed by each party.

      14.06  BANKRUPTCY CONSIDERATION. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to
the contrary, all amounts payable by the Tenant to or on behalf of the Landlord
under this Lease, whether or not expressly denominated as rent, shall constitute
rent for the purposes of Section 502(b)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 USC
Section 502 (b) (6), as same may be amended from time to time.

      14.07  NO AGENCY, JOINT VENTURE, PARTNERSHIP. Nothing contained herein
shall be deemed or construed by the parties hereto, or by any third party, as
creating the relationship of principal and agent or of partnership or joint
venture between the parties hereto, it being understood and agreed that neither
the method of computation of rent nor any other provision contained herein nor
any acts of the parties herein shall be deemed to create any relationship
between the parties hereto other than as Landlord and Tenant.

      14.08  SINGULAR/PLURAL; GENDER. Herein, if the singular number is used,
the same shall include the plural, and the masculine gender shall include the
feminine and neuter genders.

      14.09  DELAYS. In the event that either party hereto shall be delayed or
hindered in or prevented from the performance of any act required hereunder,
other than the payment of rent, by reason of acts of God, strikes, lockouts,
labor troubles, inability to procure materials, failure of power, restrictive
governmental laws, regulations or orders, riots, insurrection, war or other

reason of a like nature not the fault of the party delayed in performing such
work or doing acts required under the terms of this Lease, then the 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 party entitled to any such extension hereunder shall
give written notice as soon as possible to the other party hereto of its claim
of right to such delay. The provisions of this Section shall not operate to

      14.13 HOLDING OVER. Under no circumstances shall Tenant be permitted, nor
have any right under any set of circumstances, to hold over or have any right of
tenancy beyond the lease term. Anything contained in this Lease to the contrary
notwithstanding, at the expiration of the lease term, the Tenant shall
immediately quit the Leased Premises or it shall be deemed a trespasser, in the
event that Tenant fails to quit the Leased Premises, until such time as Landlord
elects to institute proceedings to evict Tenant, Tenant shall pay as holdover
rent the sum equal to 125% of the last current monthly base rent for the first
holdover month and 150% of the last current monthly base rent for each month
thereafter.

      14.14 TERMINATION. At the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease,
the Tenant shall yield and deliver up the Leased Premises in like condition as
during the term of this Lease, broom clean, reasonable wear thereof and damage
by the elements or damage or destruction covered by insurance, excepted.

      14.15 LAWS OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN. This Lease shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Michigan. If any
provisions of this Lease or the application thereof to any person or

shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

      14.16 BINDING EFFECT. All provisions herein are to be construed as
covenants and agreements as if so specifically stated. All covenants and
agreements herein shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Landlord and
Tenant, their respective heirs, representatives, successors and assigns, except
as herein specifically provided.

      14.17 NO LIEN PROVISION. Tenant has no power to incur any indebtedness
giving a right to a lien of any kind or character upon the right, title and
interest of the Landlord in and to the Leased Premises, and no person shall ever
be entitled to any lien directly or indirectly derived through or under Tenant
or its agents or servants on account of any act or omission of the Tenant,
against Landlord's interest therein.

      14.18 RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. If at any time after the Rent Commencement
Date, but prior to the expiration of the Term or the earlier termination of this
Lease, the Landlord receives from any third party an offer to purchase the
Leased Premises which Landlord intends to accept (the "OFFER"), then Landlord
shall give written notice of the Offer to Tenant (the "OFFER NOTICE"), which
notice shall include a copy of the proposed purchase agreement. Within thirty
(30) days after Landlord gives Tenant the Offer Notice, Tenant shall have the
right to purchase the Leased Premises for the price set forth in the Offer and
otherwise substantially on the same

                                       27

<PAGE>

terms and conditions as set forth in the Offer (the "RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL").
To exercise its right, Tenant must, within such thirty (30) day period, give
Landlord written notice of its intent to purchase. Upon exercise of the Right of
First Refusal the parties shall thereafter proceed to consummate the purchase of
such Leased Premises in accordance with the terms of such Offer. In the event
Tenant fails to exercise the Right of First Refusal in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 14.18, Landlord may, for a period of 12 months
thereafter, sell the Leased Premises to any party on terms no less favorable
than set forth in that Offer. If the Leased Premises is not sold within such 12
month period, any Offer shall once again be subject to the Right of First
Refusal and a new Offer Notice shall be delivered to Tenant. The Landlord's sale
of the Leased Premises to a third party in compliance with this Section shall
extinguish the Right of First. Until such a sale, the failure of the Tenant to
exercise the foregoing Right of First Refusal with respect any one Offer shall
not extinguish, or be deemed a waiver of, this Right of First Refusal in
connection with any subsequent Offer. The Right of First Refusal shall expire
upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. In the event Landlord
or any successor owner of the Leased Premises, shall sell or convey the Leased
Premises, any liabilities and obligations of the Landlord or such successor
owner of the Leased Premises accruing thereafter shall terminate, and thereupon
all such liabilities and obligations shall be binding upon the new owner. Tenant
shall attorn to such new owner.

      14.19 BROKERS. Landlord and Tenant hereby represent and warrant, each to
the other, that they have not used the services of any broker with respect to
this Lease except Spaulding & Syle Colliers and Equis Corporation (together the
"Brokers"). Brokers shall share the commission paid by the Landlord of six
percent (6%) of the Base Rent for the Initial Term (the "Commission"). One-half
of the Commission shall be paid at the Execution Date of this Lease and the
other half on the Rent Commencement Date. In the event that a claim is made by a
party other than Brokers, Landlord and Tenant shall each indemnify and hold the
other harmless with respect to any other commission claimed against the
indemnifying party.

      14.20 ZONING. Landlord represents and warrants that as of the date hereof,
the Leased Premises is zoned OS-4 Office Research Districts under the City of
Farmington Hills Zoning Ordinance.

      14.21 SIGNAGE. Tenant shall have the right to install signage on the
Leased Premises, including the building, so long as such signage is similar in
size, style and character to that existing as of the date hereof and complies
with all applicable federal, state and local statues, laws, ordinances, rules
and regulations. Landlord shall remove its signage from the Leased Premises no
later than April 1, 2005.

      14.22 LANDLORD'S INABILITY TO PERFORM. If, by reason of the occurrence of
unavoidable delays due to acts of God, governmental restrictions, strikes, labor
disturbances, shortages of materials or supplies or for any other cause or event
beyond Landlord's reasonable control, Landlord is unable to furnish or is
delayed in furnishing any utility, service, maintenance or repair required to be
furnished by Landlord under the provisions of this Lease, no such inability or
delay shall constitute an actual or constructive eviction in whole or in part,
or entitle Tenant to

                                       28

<PAGE>

Company, as well as to remain with the Company in the event of a threat or the
occurrence of a Change in Control, the Company desires to enter into this
Agreement with the Employee to provide the Employee with certain benefits in the
event that the Employee's employment is terminated as a result of, or in
connection with, a Change in Control.

                           (b) If the Employee's employment with the Company
shall be terminated for any reason other than as specified in Section 3.1(a),
the Employee shall be entitled to the following:

                                    (i) the Company shall pay the Employee all
         Accrued Compensation and a Pro Rata Bonus;

                                    (ii) the Company shall pay the Employee as
         severance pay and in lieu of any further compensation for periods
         subsequent to the Termination Date, in a single payment, an amount in
         cash equal to the sum of (A) the Base Amount and (B) the Bonus Amount;
         and

                                    (iii) for a number of months equal to twelve
         (12) (the "Continuation Period"), the Company shall, at its expense,
         continue on behalf of the Employee and the Employee's dependents and
         beneficiaries the life insurance, disability, medical, dental and
         hospitalization benefits provided (A) to the Employee at any time
         during the 90-day period prior to the Change in Control or at any time
         thereafter or (B) to other similarly situated employees who continue in
         the employ of the Company during the Continuation Period. The coverage
         and benefits (including deductibles and costs) provided in this Section
         3.1(b)(iii) during the Continuation Period shall be no less favorable
         to the Employee and the Employee's dependents

                                       4
<PAGE>

         and beneficiaries, than the most favorable of such coverages and
         benefits during any of the periods referred to in clauses (A) and (B)
         above. The Company's obligation hereunder with respect to the foregoing
         benefits shall be limited to the extent that the Employee obtains any
         such benefits pursuant to a subsequent employer's benefit plans, in
         which case the Company may reduce the coverage of any benefits it is
         required to provide the Employee hereunder as long as the aggregate
         coverages and benefits of the combined benefit plans are no less
         favorable to the Employee than the coverages and benefits required to
         be provided hereunder. This subsection (iii) shall not be interpreted
         so as to limit any benefits to which the Employee or the Employee's
         dependents or beneficiaries may be entitled under any of the Company's
         Employee benefit plans, programs or practices following the Employee's
         termination of employment, including without limitation, retiree
         medical and life insurance benefits.

                  (c) The amounts provided for in Sections 3.1(a) and 3.1(b)(i)
and (ii) shall be paid in a single lump sum cash payment within forty-five (45)
days after the Employee's Termination Date (or earlier, if required by
applicable law).

                  (d) The Employee shall not be required to mitigate the amount
of any payment provided for in this Agreement by seeking other employment or
otherwise, and no such payment shall be offset or reduced by the amount of any
compensation or benefits provided to the Employee in any subsequent employment
except as provided in Section 3.1(b)(iii).

                  3.2. (a) The severance pay and benefits provided for in this
Section 3 shall be in lieu of any other severance or termination pay to which
the Employee may be entitled under any Company severance or termination plan,
program, practice or arrangement.

                  (b) The Employee's entitlement to any other compensation or
benefits shall be determined in accordance with the Company's employee benefit
plans and other applicable programs, policies and practices then in effect.

         4. Notice Of Termination. Within one (1) year following a Change in
Control, any purported termination of the Employee's employment shall be
communicated by Notice of Termination to the Employee. For purposes of this
Agreement, no such purported termination shall be effective without such Notice
of Termination.

         5. Excise Tax Limitation.

                  (a) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, in
the event that any payment, benefit or distribution (within the meaning of
Section 280G(b)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code")), to the Employee or for the Employee's benefit paid or payable or
distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or
otherwise in connection with, or arising out of, the Employee's employment with
the Company or a Change in Control (a "Payment" or "Payments") would be subject
to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the "Excise Tax"), the
Payments shall be reduced (but not below zero) if and to the extent necessary so
that no Payment to be made or benefit to be provided to the Employee shall be
subject to the Excise Tax (such reduced Payments being hereinafter referred to
as the "Limited Payment Amount"). Unless the Employee shall have given prior
written notice specifying a different order to the Company to effectuate the
Limited Payment Amount, the Company shall reduce or eliminate the Payments by
first reducing or eliminating cash payments and then by reducing those payments
or benefits which are not payable in cash, in each case in reverse order
beginning with payments or benefits which are to be paid the farthest in time
from the Determination (as hereinafter defined). Any notice given by the
Employee pursuant to the preceding sentence shall take precedence over the
provisions of any other plan, arrangement or agreement governing the Employee's
rights and entitlements to any benefits or compensation.

                  (b) An initial determination as to whether the Payments shall
be reduced to the Limited Payment Amount and the amount of such Limited Payment
Amount shall be made, at the Company's expense, by the

                                       5
<PAGE>

accounting firm that is the Company's independent accounting firm as of the date
of the Change in Control or, if such firm is prohibited from performing such
services by applicable law, then such accounting firm as the Company's Board of
Directors or the Audit Committee thereof, shall approve (the "Accounting Firm").
The Accounting Firm shall provide its determination (the "Determination"),
together with detailed supporting calculations and documentation, to the Company
and the Employee within twenty (20) days of the Termination Date if applicable,
or such other time as requested by the Company or by the Employee (provided the
Employee reasonably believes that any of the Payments may be subject to the
Excise Tax), and if the Accounting Firm determines that there is substantial
authority (within the meaning of Section 6662 of the Code) that no Excise Tax is
payable by the Employee with respect to a Payment or Payments, it shall furnish
the Employee with an opinion reasonably acceptable to the Employee that no
Excise Tax will be imposed with respect to any such Payment or Payments. Within
ten (10) days of the delivery of the Determination to the Employee, the Employee
shall have the right to dispute the Determination (the "Dispute"). If there is
no Dispute, the Determination shall be binding, final and conclusive upon the
Company and the Employee subject to the application of Section 6(c) below.

                  (c) As a result of the uncertainty in the application of
Sections 4999 and 280G of the Code, it is possible that the Payments to be made
to, or provided for the benefit of, the Employee either will be greater (an
"Excess Payment") or less (an "Underpayment") than the amounts provided for by
the limitations contained in Section 6(a). If it is established pursuant to a
final determination of a court or an Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS")
proceeding which has been finally and conclusively resolved that an Excess
Payment has been made, such Excess Payment shall be deemed for all purposes to
be a loan, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to the Employee made on
the date the Employee received the Excess Payment and the Employee shall repay
the Excess Payment to the Company on demand (but not less than ten (10) days
after written notice is received by the Employee) together with interest on the
Excess Payment at the "Applicable Federal Rate" (as defined in Section 1274(d)
of the Code) from the date of the Employee's receipt of such Excess Payment
until the date of such repayment. In the event that it is determined by (i) the
Accounting Firm, the Company (which shall include the position taken by the
Company, or together with its consolidated group, on its federal income tax
return) or the IRS, (ii) pursuant to a determination by a court, or (iii) upon
the resolution to the Employee's satisfaction of the Dispute that an
Underpayment has occurred, the Company shall pay an amount equal to the
Underpayment to the Employee within ten (10) days of such determination or
resolution, together with interest on such amount at the Applicable Federal Rate
from the date such amount would have been paid to the Employee until the date of
payment.

         6. Successors; Binding Agreement.

                  (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to
the benefit of the Company, its Successors and Assigns and the Company shall
require any Successors and Assigns to expressly assume and agree to perform this
Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be
required to perform it if no such succession or assignment had taken place.

                  (b) Neither this Agreement nor any right or interest hereunder
shall be assignable or transferable by the Employee or the Employee's
beneficiaries or legal representatives, except by will or by the laws of descent
and distribution. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be
enforceable by the Employee's legal personal representative.

         7. Confidential Information. Employee understands and acknowledges that
his work as an employee of the Company involves access to and creation of
confidential, proprietary, and trade secret information of the Company and its
affiliates, consultants, customers, clients, and business associates
(collectively, as defined more extensively in Exhibit "A," "Proprietary
Information"). Employee acknowledges that he executed a Proprietary Information
Agreement to protect Proprietary Information and that he shall continue to be
bound by the Proprietary Information Agreement. A copy of the Proprietary
Information Agreement is attached to this Agreement as Exhibit "A."

bonus, incentive or other plan or program provided by the Company (except for
any severance or termination policies, plans, programs or practices) and for
which the Employee may qualify, nor shall anything herein limit or reduce such
rights as the Employee may have under any other agreements with the Company

program, except as explicitly modified by this Agreement.

         10. No Implied Employment Rights. Employee acknowledges and agrees that
nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to imply that his employment is
guaranteed for any period of time. Employee understands that his employment is
"at will," which means that either the Company or the Employee can terminate the
employment relationship at any time, with or without advance notice, for any
reason or no reason, with or without cause. Employee understands that the only
way that his "at will" employment relationship can be altered is by a written
agreement signed by the Employee and the President of the Company.

to make payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its
obligations hereunder shall be reduced by any amounts owed by Employee to the
Company including, without limitation, any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment,
defense or other right which the Company may have against Employee or others.

         12. Miscellaneous. No provision of this Agreement may be modified,
waived or discharged, unless such waiver, modification or discharge is agreed to
in writing and signed by the Employee and the Company. No waiver by either party
hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto, or compliance with,
any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party
shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar

                                       7

provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time. No

the State of California and is to be performed in Orange County, California.

of the State of California, including all matters of construction, validity,
performance, and enforcement, without giving effect to principles of conflict of
laws. Any dispute, action, litigation, or other proceeding concerning this

application thereof in any circumstance, is or becomes illegal, invalid or

unenforceability of any such provision shall not affect the validity or
enforceability of the other provisions hereof.

         15. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement
between the parties hereto and supersedes all prior agreements, if any,
understandings and arrangements, oral or written, between the parties hereto
with respect to the subject matter hereof.

         16. Severance And Release Agreement. The Employee's right to the
severance payments under this Agreement shall be conditioned upon the Employee's

Company, which is not revoked by the Employee.

covenants, conditions, and agreements contained in this Agreement shall be

         18. Interpretation. The language in all parts of this Agreement shall

for or against any party. Whenever the context requires, all words used in the
singular will be construed to have been used in the plural, and vice versa. The
descriptive headings of the sections and subsections of this Agreement are
inserted for convenience only and shall not control or affect the interpretation
or construction of any of the provisions herein.

         19. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

cooperate in good faith with the other and to execute and deliver such further
instruments and perform such other acts as may be reasonably necessary or
appropriate to consummate and carry into effect the transactions contemplated
